Fit the 120 it's far better than the 110.
How? The 120 on a 3 inch rim will pinch up, and give a completely wrong pointed profile - which won't be at all similar to that on the back so best case scenario, the bike feels a bit funny, and worst case you'll have some serious handling problems.
Stick with the 110, as that's what the wheel is designed for. If you want a 120, fit a different wheel!

This comment speaks of ignorance to me. We have this thread open, and a person who has a 120 on his bike saying it's good, and he's happy (having changed to it out of choice). We have another person who also has a 120 on the front, but wants to change back just because he is concerned. It's quite possible he will not notice a difference, it's equally possible that the bike will feel 'nicer' or that it will be less grippy with a 110 on it.
I say that if you want to try a 120 on the front - go for it. It's not a significant size difference, I doubt it'll make any more difference than changing your tyre pressures, but if you're more confident - great. And it might be better!
(I have pilot power CT on the rear of my bike, no idea what the front is, when it's worn I might fit a 120/70
