Stock tyre on the K6 is a Dunlop D220
you'll most likely use about two rear tyres for every front tyre anyway, so just replace the rear, but not with the D220, get a RoadSmart or other recommended tyre, there must a million "which tyre" threads on this forum

sounds like a load of crap to me, perhaps mixing a road-racing tyre with a touring tyre would be a bit of a gamble, but mixing two dunlop sport-touring tyres has been fine on my bike, the roadsmart is a much nicer feeling tyre then the D220 IMO
