Default Mixing KD's and P/S's???

I have Michelin Pilot Sports in the front (265x35x18) and I am putting on BFG TA KD's on the rear for better traction. (295x35x18).
Any problem with this???

Probably not, especially cause you have the stickier of the two in the rear but why aren't you getting the KD's in a 265X35X18? I'm about to order these same tires myself.

I want more rear traction. I spin at the higher rpm's in 1st - 3rd. I am told the KD's are stickier than the Pilot Sports. I am not really a big fan of tubbing either.
