Tire Question, not darkside

**Top Cat** · 08-23-2009, 10:49 PM

I know this has been covered but I have only been a member since the forum was started. Sooooooooooo, I haven't learned to use the search feature yet. Well, if you can even call it a feature :-/
My question, I want to put Elite 3's on my bike as I have worn out the rear Cobra already

11,500 miles at 40psi.
Seems the rear Elite 3 comes in my size,180/70-R16,which is a radial.
The front size I need 150/80-16 comes in bias ply only. Can I mix a radial on the rear with a bias on the front?
The only way I can see to get radial front and rear is to run the Elite on the front and a D251 radial, the front tire that comes on a VN2000.
Help out an old timer here :) What do ya think?
