I've seen posts from some that have mixed the BT-010 front with the BT-020
rear that reported no ill effects, but then I also read something that a
Dunlop tire guy posted somewhere that strongly advised against doing
this...they already take into account the wear differences in front and
rears, and make the rears accordingly.  

I figure the Dunlop tire guy knows a helluva lot more about the
construction than us out here so I stick to the same on each end.

On similar note, and TBS guys on here that can answer a few Q's, including
tire choices for me?
