Is there any reason you shouldnt run rear specific tyres on the front wheel? Its hopefully only a temporary measure anyway! Will post if I feel any problems with running them!

no technical reason - you may find 'sideways' grip a bit compromised as it'll tend to be built to maximise traction fore/aft.

Your bike will continually try to go backwards

Thanks! I shall test it out when my Leg is working again! and I'll post my thoughts on comprimised sideways grip! I'll try not to go backwards at least!! Might order another High roller in the mean time for the front!

cheers!

Front is now a Rear Schwable Fat Albert (used on rear for the whole winter so not new by any means)
