I ordered trailwing tires, TW-21 & TW-22,dropped my rims off and waited for the call.Went to pick up the tires paid first then grabbed the wheels.To my suprise I now had a front bias TW-21 and a radial TW-152 rear.The bike shop assures me that this is a fine match,I think that a TW-101 is a match for theTW-152 but doesn`t come in the right size that I can find. They say a TW-101 is amatch but this is also a bias. Can radial and bias tires be mixed,the bike shop has been good and say they`ll switch either tire if i want,only for the price of the difference in tires. Should I keep this mix? Or should I get a match set? What would be a match for the TW-152? Most my riding is on tar and chip roads, gravel and hydro line paths. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The tires are waiting to be mounted on my 2003 KLR.

I understand that Triumph supplies some of their bikes w/ a bias/radial mix. Ed
