Awesome - Thanks Eric and Jay

Thanks.

This seems pretty much inline with Porterfield (20% off for NASA members)

Do the DT-60 rears work better with the Blue front. I know I have seen some run blue front and rear, but have also heard of other using a different compound in the rear (to reduce rear lock up?)

Getting ready to purchase, so just looking for some input here.

Thanks again

I would not expect DTC-60's to improve rear lockup versus Hawk Blues, as they are at least as aggressive. Many local guys have had luck with the HP+ compound in the rear to reduce rear lockup.

DTC-60s may work in the rear, with DTC-70s in the front, but not in combination with the Blues.

From my recent experience, after switching from Hawk Blues in the front to DTC-70s front and 60s rear, I stopped flatspotting front tires from the blues locking up and noticed a remarkable difference in my braking application feel.
