Hey all,

Have a 07 695 with the stock Bridgestone BT 56's, about due for a rear tire. Front is still good,  can I put a different model of Bridgestone, like a 016 or 021 on the rear with the stock 56 on the front?  Hate to replace the front tire before it needs to be. 

Thanks for any help,

Hmm, lots of Ducs on the Bridgestone site.

Generally, folks can go with same same, or a slightly harder rear tire.  So a 20 or 21 might suit as a replacement.  Sometimes this sport front, sport-tour rear set up works great - in other instances the two tires just don't make the bike happy.

I'd call bridgstone and see what they think.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.
