I need to replace the front tyre on my curvy sv,at the moment it has an metzler z6 on it but all i can get hold of at short notice is a bridgstone 020,what i need to know is can i run the 020 front with a metzler z6 rear.the riding that i do is mainly motorway comuting with the odd blast 2 or 3 times a month.

Just be aware the tyres may let go at different times to what you're used to. If you don't ride that hard anyway then don't worry about it.
You can sometimes get slightly strange feel with mismatched tyres if the profiles are significantly different.
