Default I'm confused!

Can someone clue me in-It seems like the Metz ME880 Marathon rear size 180/70 does not come in a 16 in bias, only radial, and that the front 130/90 only comes in bias? Is it okay to mix a rear radial with a front bias? Could someone who has the ME880's please help me out, and let me know what you have? I can't figure out exactly what I need. Also, is it okay to mix brands of tires? Could I use a Dunlop rear and Metzler front, as long as they are both bias, and the same sizes as the stock tires? Sorry for being so dense!
