I agree, and those are the kinds of tires I usually run, same brand and model, but different compound front and rear. Softer front and harder rear.

I think he's asking would you run a different model front and rear to have a softer front and a harder rear, such as a Dunlop Qualifier front and a Roadsmart rear or a Michelin Pilot Power front and a Pilot Road rear. I wouldn't do that.
