Just be sure the tires are comparable to the fronts. Same performance category, same speed rating, similar tread pattern.
I usually start the search at tirerack.com after writing down all the info from the tires you are keeping. Only look at the tire categories that match the front tires. Front tires usually last twice as long as rear tires so you may want to try & buy tires that will wear out at the same time as your fronts as much as possible.
