2 different tire brands on the same bike?
I am considering changing mymichelin carbons to an other brand...the armadillos have been mentionned a lot. I would put the front tire on the back and a new one on the front wheel because the front tire is still good for a while. My back tire just "exploded" as something cut the side of it and leaving a great 1cm whole on it!
I'm wondering if there is any problem with having 2 different brands of tires on the same bike.
Thanks in advance
Nick

Moving your front tyre to the back and putting a new tyre on the front is a good way to go. The opposite isn't.
