my front is just about shot, but rear has a little life left in it. Would have to check last MOT to work out mileage, but doesn't really matter right now.

I'm currently running Contiforce and from the reviews, have decided on Storms as the next set. I've seen mixed reviews on tyre size, keeping the rear at 160/60 but fronts either 120/60 or 120/70.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of going with 120/70 for the front?

Should I really be changing for the same front and back at the same time, or would mixing the Contiforce rear with a Storm front until the rear is worn out, be ok?
