im runing a qualifier on the front and a pilot road 2 on the back. Bike handles good and i drive very hard in the twisties and straights. I will only mix brands if the back doesnt last long. The dunlop qualifier i had on the back lasted about 800 miles YES thats correct 800. Dunlop are dead to me. This road 2 has about 3000 miles and has about 1/4 left which aint allot. The road 2 is lasting good but doesnt give me the confidence of the qualifier.
Once the road 2 's heat up there fine for leaning hard there a good comprimise between staying on the road ( not in the woods ) and not having to buy tires every few months.
put a 190 on the back cheaper and will turn in easier

When in doubt, lean farther and go faster....
