I have been told not to mix different tires front to back. I have the R6 in the back. I will check and see what others say about mixing R6 and A6. Do you have pics ???

Can take some if you want. , i would agree about not mixing different compounds as the A6's are a stickier compound, unless you have a specific handling goal in mind for doing that .

if you run the A6's on the front and the R6's on the back, the only problem might be a "push" .
Also....keep up w/the wear on the fronts as they will go away alot quicker.

If the fronts are stickier wouldn't that lead to possible oversteer ??
