Have a read of the tyre section, loads of threads in there on the subject

020's are OK so personally I dont like running mis-matched tyres so I'd go for a match for your rear.

stick with what your happy with-you'll get a part worn 020 120/60 or 120/70 for 20 bangers on ebay-do you until you need to change both then go for a new set-I recommend diablos but every one has there own preferences-i,ve never ran Bridgestones since my off -just something in my head telling me i'm not comfortable with them-others swear by conti road attacks.
