Yep! You just asked a simple question and should be receiving some courteous opinions. You got some real elitist answers here, and some down to earth ones. Sometimes I think some people are trying to drive members away! I see no big problem with mixing as long as both fronts are the same and both backs are the same. In reality, the car comes with somewhat mixed tires front to back. If it were a 4X4 you would want them all to be the same. I see nothing wrong with you trying to get maximum wear out your tires. Give me a break?

 

I would recommend going with the same make front and rear.
I've had mixed tyres before on a car and because the fronts were new and really sticky the rears were a harder compound and not brand new I lost the rear end on a corner.
This is only my opinion but I am in the procees of buying new tyres at the moment and although the rears don't need replaced straight away I am replacing all 4 at the same time.
