Fullruns. Old Fullruns.
Is he still better off buying the same for the rear than buying something decent? Of course he bloody isnt.
Sorry, I did notice that you said "if they are decent match up" but where do you draw the line? IMO just buy the best you can afford and try and match the fronts when the time comes, makes much more sense.
Yes of course it makes sense to get the best you can afford. Not knowing what his front tyres were or life left in them was for all I knew they were brand new and depending how many miles he does they could last for years. I myself wouldn't want to be mixing for any length of time. in 9 years of owning the zed I have never actually worn a set of fronts out, just bought a complete set when the rears were done in , total of three sets in 9 years.
