Mixed front and back sets

Hi all:

Hey a quick question, is there any issues with mixing tire sets on the front and the back of the car. I am considering using Bridgestone / Potenza (Runflats) on the rear and Conti Sport Contact 2's on the front. Has anyone mixed tires and are there any issues with doing so. Also any comments on the Bridgestones? I have Conti's on the car now and like them. Seeing how there is no spare I thought the run flats might be a good idea.

Your thoughts are always appreciated.

Thanks,
Gassghost

I haven't had any problems. I have original MIc's on the front and Bridgestones on the rear for the last 2-3,000 miles after I blew the drivers side rear kissing a curb.

Hey RMADERMAN:

How do you like the Bridgestones? Any comments on noise, grip, wear, etc... Let me know if you get a chance.

Thanks,
