I would match tires-I only use Diablo Stradas on mine.Great tires IMO.Last somewhat longer than others.I also gave up on trying to "make my rear tire last".Pop a new one on there and have fun!!At 120.00 dollars,they're quite reasonable.

just saw this thread after i posted in the last one.

Tire is your traction problem. i'd try running a michelin pilot power on the back. Front and rears do not have to match, but if you have the extra money i would.
