I´m curious about the reasons behind this change. Everyone and his dog will agree the rear tyres were unsafe after the Silverstone events, and that the change was made for safety purposes, and it was needed. But I don´t remember the fronts failing at all, was there any problem with them?

Let´s not slide into conspiracy theories, please. I just want to know what was the reason for the change, if Pirelli made any statement of anything explaining it.

Because tyres generally come as a set

In Germany they used the 2013 fronts with the revised rears. Everything went OK and no one was even hinting a change.
And front and rear tyres have always been different in size, pressure, compouns, width, thread (number of grooves when they weren´t slicks).
