I run some el-cheapos on my rears right now because I was broke and one of the rears blew out. I figured I'd replace them when I had the chance, but I've had no problems with them, and I don't track the car, so I've just left it as-is. I can go look and see what brand are in front vs rear, but given that my driving is fairly sedate with only occasional high-speed bursts, tire choice isn't all that much of an issue. Plus with the cheap rears I can burnout all I want and I'm not losing $50 in rubber a pop ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

AS long as you replace in pairs, go ahead. On the street I doubt you'll notice. If you do, you'll probably pony up for them next time. I'm running different f/r right now because of the different wear rates and the fact I'm cheap, but wanted to switch brands/types.
