Unlike on a 4 wheel vehicle it's ok to mix bias and radials; many here have done it. :thumb:

Just adding my personal experience. I’ve never had a problem mixing radial and bias. I may actually have a mix on there now.

Edit. I just went and checked. My Quota is running a bias ply shinko 705 on front in size 110/80/19 and rear is a radial Dunlop trailsmart 130/80/17. About 2k miles on this combo and no problems at all. The trailsmarts are on closeout at chapmoto for $37 each. I bought 3 rears and one front. (Guzzi content)

Assuming they are still available, I loved the Conti trail attacks on Darth Quota. Mostly street, of course.
