Question Front tire on rear??

Im replacing the rear tire on my heritage. My buddy is switching out both tires on his glide. His rear tire is shot but front tires bout 80%. It is exact size w whitewall that i am replacing. I know many tires are for front or rear fitment but has anyone run front tire on rear and if so is the ride squirrelly? im on budget but dont wana be unsafe. Any input is welcomed

I've heard nothing but great things about Metzler tires. My buddy uses them at the dragstrip and loves'em.

SE 180 has been replaced with the Dulop 502 a year ago. It is a great tire.

Im taking my bike to the strip, so the past week I was practicing a few runs. It was about an 80 degree day so 8 did a mild burn out to heat the tire up a bit before my launch. Once I let it rip it STUCK! 2nd gear the front lifted. Stock Dunlop I think is a really good tire.

Im still going give the Metzler a try next.
