	The traditional alternative, for staying Michelin both Fr/Rr, is to use a '''Pilot Activ rear''' tire (also Bias) in '''front''', size 130 / 70 /18 (also, some have used 130 / 80 / 18 - with no clearance issues). Some reverse the arrow when mounting rear tires on the front, but others consider this practice to be unnecessary with modern radial construction. Mainly the thought is that the rear on front has greater tread and longer lifespan.
