Any issue running different make tires front and rear at the same time? I have an opportunity to get a great deal on two Kumho MX's and I wanted to see how they affect the steering feel and front grip. Obviously I plan to go with something consistently all the way around, but this was kinda a unique situation.

I wouldn't track the car that way. It is likely that they would respond to heat differently and the car would be unpredictable as things heated up.

For around town, it's probably safe, but isn't the best way to assess the new tires potential.
