Default Differnt Front and Rear Tires?

Has anybody done this?

My fronts are getting down to the wear bars, but the rears only have a few thousand miles on them.

I would like to get the Kuhmo MXs (to stay with the runflats), so how bad will it be to run Kuhmos up front with the stock runcraps on the back?

I emailed Luke @ TireRack, but he seems to be ignoring me!

Not a good idear I tried this once on my C5 Vert. I had runcraps on the rear and Pilot sports Zero pressure on the front. The car handled like it was on ice, very scarey, replaced the rear runcraps with PS Zero and all was well
