Default Mismatching tyres, both Bridgestone.

Ive got a Bridgestone 023 on the rear and have the same front the the bike comes with, well after to many track days i have destroyed my front and i was wondering could i but like a Bridgestone 016 on it which is a more sporty tire or would it upset the balance on the bike to much have a sport touring tire on the back

True, also your bike might pull to the right.

hope you can let me know how the bridgestone 023 are getting on. As thinking of getting a set for my bike all the reviews are very good.
