As long as the tires are of similar design, treadwear, and grip levels they work fine. I have actually mix-and-matched quite often in 8 years with this car. Now running max summer tires on the front and A/S tires on the rear would be treacherous. My brother tried it once and managed to put his car in the weeds after only 10 minutes driving. Off they came.
