Rojo is running an R6 front wheel with custom spacers to allow him to use the stock forks. But this means he can run a 120 super sticky SS tire up front. So essentially, yes it's been done.

These bikes don't have the guts to spin up the rear, so a little harder/longer wearing tire is a great idea in the back. But the front does more work because the bike has no guts, so a sticky one up there is a good thing. I say go for it!
