Q: I have a pair of BT-020's fitted, but the rear needs replacing. Can I fit the new BT-021 with the BT-020 front?
A: At present, the BT-020 and BT-021 have not been tested as a pair. So to say they will work together would be foolish as there is no data to suggest they will.

This too is correct, straneg but true...before a manufacturer will recommend a tyre to a bike....they will actually test the tyres on the bike....
And again before they will say yes the 020 and the 021 will work fine...they will first test them as a pair on a mixture of bikes and riding styles to make sure they work...
