Your choice.... If you have an off, the insurers may look at non matched tyres unhappily!! Personal experience is that it doesn't matter a huge deal, but you do want to match types. eg. no off-road front, road type rear type mixes!!

Why don't you go for the same tyre as on the back end anyway?

its got trailwings on and i wanted to change to something more road biased, but the back is like new.

Ahh, I see Never used TW's but I am sure someone will who can recommend a match. However, to buy a pair is not too bad if you use one of the online suppliers and sell the TW here?

Last pair of tyres I bought were only a few quid more than the local dealer wanted for one rear!!

If you are on Trailwings, then change them both, you will NOT be disappointed.

Ditch the deathwings and try something like tourances, much better in my humble opinion

when my rear TW wore our I replaced with a Tourance. Like all new tyres, even a matched pair, it feels strange for the first few miles but then I never ever noticed anything and just rode it like normal. When the front TW wore out I replaced both F&R with Tourances.

Now I have decided I don't like tourances and am on a pair Dunlop D607 on the TA and Conti road attack (front) and trail attack (rear) on the Vara.
