It wasn't about whether it was 'safe' or 'ok' to run different tyres front to back my point was I wouldn't expect to buy a brand new bike and see it had 2 different manufacturers tyres fitted. In this case it had to have another manufacturers tyre fitted to make it ridable. To others this clearly would be acceptable, everyone has their limits even when paying out that amount of money. All sorted anyway now.

Thanks for your responses guys. I understand that running different tyres front and rear will not cause any issues this is more about the principal. I wouldn't expect to buy a new bike and see it's got 2 different manufacturers tyres fitted.

I've recently bought a 2016my 250 new and on its first outing the tyre would only stay up for 15 mins at a time before going completely flat. After reading this thread I contacted the dealer and he apparently had sold another that also had this issue. I requested a tyre swap from the Dunlop to Michelin but he would only swap the rear as the front was ok. I'm a bit miffed with this response as to my way of thinking if I have to swap tyre manufacturer to one that is compatible with the rim they should swap the front and rear together. I've been told by the dealer to contact MRS direct and make the request to swap the front - I'm also not very pleased with having to do this. I'm ok to listen to reason so am I being unreasonable in my requests?
