It's generally thought to not be a good idea to mix brands. Tire companies have their own brew when it comes to compounds and mixing them can have hazardous results. Under normal street conditions, you would probably be OK. But get outside that finite parameter and you could be asking for trouble. You could have spooky experiences if it rains, or you go for spirited drives, and certainly if you go to the track. It doesn't make sense to handcuff yourself like that with a sports car and you defn wouldn't want to loan your car to an unsuspecting friend.

As Rex suggests, you may want to check the dates of your rears. While they may have plenty of tread left, if the dates are 6+ yrs old you'll wan to replace them too. Then you have all kinds of options available. If they're still w/in specs, TireRack is an excellent source of info.
