Hey guys,
New to the forum, new to the bike. I recently picked up an '08 FZ6 from a guy a couple hours away and am honestly in love with the bike. This forum has been a huge help so far too so hi to you all.
The previous owner pointed out the bike needs a new rear tire. This would be simple however the bike has a Bridgestone T30 GT (yes, the GT for heavier bikes, not our bikes) on the front. Now I've e-mailed Revzilla, Canada's motorcycle, and Pete's Superbike as well as called Bridgestone to try and find an answer but always seem to get a different one. Would it be ok to run a T30 non GT on the rear? Would it be ok to run a T30 EVO (the next iteration of the T30) on the rear? Would it be ok to run a T30 EVO GT on the rear? Would the bike handle well with a T30 GT on the rear and front?
If I had more dough I'd love to replace both tires, but the front tread is pretty good and would like to avoid the extra purchase. Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated!
