Tires still need to be broken into? Probably still has release compound on the front tires. Assuming you have the same model tires in the rear.

i just noticed that punctuation could have helped a lot here.

he could have said
i put re01r's on the front, and the rears seem very loose
or
i put re01r's on the front and rear, seems very loose

haha

Only 2 reasons I can think of.
Personal preference? Save money? Trial and error? Got a deal?

I'm sure you can come up with something better than "they don't know".

I will be using my RE050's for the front and will be getting RE01's for the rear as soon as they need replaced. The fronts are fine and they ARE Bridgestone's, so it's not like someone is putting RE050's on front and kuhmo's on the rear. I feel the front's are fine in terms of traction, however the rears need some help. Enter the RE01's.

not sure what tires you've used before the re-01r's but from my experience the re-01r's are a bit squirmy compared to the re050. they do grip more than the re050's but they do come with more movement.

i felt the same way after switching to RE10r's but after tire psi change and learning the tires a bit more i am pretty sure what you guys are feeling is the tire actually "hooking up" on the pavement.........much like when you were little, riding on your bike with the tire low, when you take off from a stop the tire really grips the pavement instead of peeling out....i dunno though, just my opinion
