D208 front no longer available. there's no matching front, hopefully Dunlop had this in mind and the D209 is similar in profile, that being the case go for a D209 on the front, It does seem a shame to scrap a 400 mile tyre..

My rear 023 is virtually end of life. Front is ok. They've given me a lot of confidence - and have lasted really well (I'm quite heavy handed)

I fancy the new Bridgestone T30
