At the Vancouver bike show ,I asked an Avon rep about fitting a front tyre on the rear of my Norton Commando , which has 19 inch rims front and back [ 19 inch rears are VERY hard to find ].
The tyre in question was an Avon Distanzia .He replied that on a bike of moderate horsepower ,it would be fine .But to reverse the tyre to compensate for acceleration forces .
I have mixed makes of tyres for years and haven't had any problems , so if you are stuck in the back of beyond and can't get the tyre you would like then I would say it's OK to improvise ,although a ribbed tyre on the rear might give interesting handling !
All the Best
