I have some questions regarding tire replacement. At what mileage do you typically replace need to replace front vs rear? Should I stay with the original brand or are there others I should consider?

Go to ibmwr web sight,they have all the info you need in the tech section. I found using a larg C-clamp best for breaking the tire bead. Good luck

metz'ers are popular fitting. They seem to work well with the bike. As for when to do it, well that depends on how you ride. Just keep checking them regular and just replace when worn. Some people claim to have worn them out in 4000 miles but I was up in the 10000 before new ones were needed.
