Is it safe to run different brand tires on front and rear? I have Metzeler 880's on front and rear now, the rear is ready to change and the front still has plenty of tread. I was thinking about going to a Pirelli MT66 Route Cruiser rear tire (150-80-16) and leave the front Metzeler until it wears out. Also I had a question about the load index, the Metzeler rear tire is a 150-80-16B (reinforced with a load rating of 77) and the Pirelli has a load rating of 71, should I stick with the Metzeler because of the higher weight capacity? I am 6'1 and 280lbs and the wife is 100lbs soaking wet. I am riding a 2009 Heritage. Let me know your opinions on both these questions. Thanks All :cheers
