Monyx, I would strongly advise AGAINST mixing a 2CT rear with a non 2CT front.
On the plus side, when the frot lets go you will most likely "lowside" and not get too badly hurt, all the rest is bad!
I have been running Pilot Powers, up till the 2CT came available, the Pilot Power 2CT is the best tyre bar none that I have ever had on a bike..but!
They track very differently to other tyres. I wore out the rear, and fitted a second hand Pilot Power (non 2CT) to get me thru till 2CT's were available. You can get away with this set up, but 2CT rear, non 2CT front...bike would be virtually unrideable.
