I have to agree completely, here. I cannot remember a bad experience
mixing brands on a motorcycle. Maybe a "not good". The trouble is,
it's a crap shoot as to whether you'll have success mating tires from
different makers.
I had one frightening experience with radials on a beater pick-up. I
put new Sears tires on the rear and thought it would swap ends in every
curve. The Sears Manager took one curve and turned around. I got
different tires for the price difference and not a peep out of him.
