As long as they are both bias tires, I'd say yep. I know some of the gang mix Metzlers on front and back.
Earl is running a Pirellis SPort demon on the rear and still has a Metzler on the front. Of course he's lost quite a bit of speed though. I heard a rumor that he let an ole 750 catch up to him. 8O
I would also, if it were me, keep the same tire theme. I mean I wouldn't run a Sport tire on the rear, and a SPort Touring on the front. But that's just me. :roll: 8) -
I've mixed several types of tires such as an ME880 front with a Dunlop Elite II rear. They were both bias ply and also were similar compounds (both touring/sport touring oriented). I wouldn't mix say a Dunlop 491 Elite II with a Dunlop 591 (old style sticky tire) as one tire having better traction than the other could make riding a lot more interesting.

A lot of time a softer front tire is used, sticking with the same brandComment
