Combining Bias on front and radial at the back

[Diablotin]

Based on vmaxoutlaw it's a pretty bad idea:

"Never run a bias ply tire on one wheel and a radial on the other or I can tell you from experience that this will destroy the handling of the V-Max that you are working to enhance. Whatever wheels you end up with after you follow these steps, you will be amazed at the difference in handling you will experience."


Exchanging some emails with Przemek, we were wondering why that feedback.

Any input on this guys ?

Michelin Pilot sport 190/50R17 radial type at rear and Michelin Macadam 110/90R18 bias type.
99 v-max with stock rear shock and stock forks.

Perfect grip at any speed and any surface and corners.
Made couple hundreds miles on it.

Just my 2 cents.
