Do you have a scotoiler or automatic chain oiler fitted to the left hand
side ?
As oil mist on a new tyre won't help grip .
When breaking in your tyre did you increase your lean angles , to break in
the sides .
The last set of tyres i put on didn't bed in for 300miles , they were sports
compound but seemed to have a shiney glaze on them that took some time to
ware off .
The tyre profile on a worn rear tyre will not be so rounded as a new rear ,
this could give you the feeling that the new tyre is slipping more than the
old one , ( you know the feeling you get , when you put on a new set of
tyres , the steering becomes lighter and it turns into corners better , you
don't have to fight the steering to go round bends .
Its down to the tyres , they increase their contact patch on the sides when
they ware , the more they ware the bigger the contact patch , the more the
grip.
A worn front tyre and a new rear will alter the balance of grip between the
two tyres , more to the front and less to the rear.
Just some idea's that may give you the answer your looking for.
