tyre size confusion

[Hogdigerdy Dog]

Ok i've got a dunlop 208 160/60/zr17 rear and a dunlop 207f 120/60/zr17 front.
the fronts had it and needs replacing
after having a good look round it appears the 207 has been replaced with the 208,
no problem there but i can't find a 208 front with a 60 profile they all appear to be 70s
so to the question
can i run a 70 profile front with a 60 profile rear, i've had a look on the web and plenty do, i just want to be sure before i buy as i found a dunlop 208 120/70/zr17 for £55 delivered bloody bargain http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DUNLOP-D208-FRONT ... 3f0102a6e9

cheers

Yes. Lots of people swap the 120/60 for a 120/70 on various bikes- just make sure the tyre clears the mudguard

yeah you'll be fine the bike will stear a little faster as the profile is a bit more V shaped
