IF possible tires should always be replaced in pairs to keep the sharp handling.
allot of the time if you replace only one, the turn in may get heavy, or may fall in when cornering.
The rubber in the new tire will have much better grip, then the old tire. the tire not changed, is heat cycled and gets harder every day, with less grip.
Like on my nc with tkc tires i will change tires based on the front tire wear,,, not the back. most people will do just the opposite of this.
From all my years of racing dirt bikes and road racing, i can control the rear sliding much easier, then the front pushing, and trying to turn in and tuck, if the front does not get grip, it doesn't matter what the back is doing you have to back off. dale
