I wanted to go with a matching set but for whatever reason the dealer said my Strada was no longer in production and they couldn't get it. It may no longer be in production but I believe it is still available....anyway...I wanted a tire and not a debate or an argument....(I can go to work for that). Plus money was a little tight at the time. I thought it would be OK to mix the Strada front with the Angel rear. I'll replace the front in a few thousand with another Angel and then I'll be matched up. So far no problems. The bike handles fantastic.
