This is my first post on this website here and my first bike GSX-R 600
I have a 2002 euro spec 600 and I just recently got a flat in my rear tire, they are michelin pilot power 2ct, now I could not find 2ct anywhere in Italy for some reason (livorno/pisa area) for those interested but I did find a pilot power rear tire and had the suzuki dealer put it on for me, but i still have the 2ct on front, will this be bad for my balance, turning or just riding in general? I am not a very good rider and I do not go very low at all yet but I do like speed and I am learning to turn decently right now so any feedback would be great, I do not have the money to buy another tire so any tips to keep my feet below my head would be great, thanks.

You'll be fine for just starting out on a bike.
You won't need to be concerned with tires for quite some time.


Gear up and get out and ride....:burnout

I think you'd be fine. It is not like you are preparing for the track. Know your limits and replace it later.

I even patched a rear tire and rode it for a couple months, just new my limits and didn't do anything stupid.

You had three threads all titled the same and at least the other one I checked was in the wrong area.

Do us and yourself a favor. Post threads in the proper areas, and title them descriptively.

I deleted the other two thinking you had made the same thread three times
