When you’re replacing the tires, it isn’t a must that you need to replace both tires. You can simply change the one that’s showing signs of problems. In case both the tires are past the 5-year mark, you must consider changing both of them at the same time. In most cases, the rear tire will wear out faster compared to the front one, as the rear sends the engine power and carries most of the motorcycle’s weight. If you’re switching from one brand to the other, you must change both of them. If you’re riding a bike with different types of tires, you’ll be more likely to experience handling problems.
