Hey everyone, I ordered a Pirelli Sync for the back of my Uly from Motorcycle Superstore. They mistakenly sent me the new trail in a 180 which is the same size. The tire has a lot of tread and me thinks I am going to try it. Any thoughts on how it may affect handling with the standard Sync in the front?

Run it. In my opinion, the trail is way better and it will handle fine with the Sync in front.

Rode from St. Louis to Colorado and back and just rode all over North Georgia and it still looks great! Wonderful tire, especially in the rain!

If riding with a Trail on the back and a Sync in front was dangerous, I wouldn't be typing this now.

I will do one last smoky burnout on the sync and spoon on the trail...Thanks for the advice gentlemen.

I've had a Sync on the front and a Trail on the rear for about 3500 miles so far. I have not noticed any issues.

I ran a Sync on the front and a Raven009 on the back for 10,000 miles with no effect and a Sync front and a PR3 on rear for 1800 miles with no effect. now the front sync is worn out and a PR3 will replace it.

I think the standard Syncs are discontinued, aren't they?

Thats all I run on or ran on the strom and the Uly before I traded them off a few weeks back. GREAT all weather tires. Milage was no better or no worse than any other tire I tried. I was running the 190 size.
