Quick (probably stupid noob) question...
Why would my bike have a 140 rear tyre as opposed to the 150 it is supposed to have.
It is a Mitas EO7.
Also I have a thing about matched tyre sets. I will change tyres if I buy any vehicle with mismatched tyres. Currently a Hiedenau of some description (Something 60 seems to spring to mind)
Now I see here that it is common for the DS/ Adventure guys to use different tyres front and back. Am I correct in assuming this is because brand x front is better than brand y rear and visa versa for the front?
