Jim...

I am wrestling with a related issue right now.  Two years ago I bought a set 
of Goodyear Blue Streaks for my TR3, only to find the fit on the front, but 
not on the rear.  They've been on the shelf since.

This spring I decided I wanted to see if I could run them on the front, where 
they fit, and run different tires in the rear.  In this case the rear tires 
will be by another manufacture, and a different size.  I have discussed this 
with three different distributors, including SASCO and WOODMAN.  All of them 
say, while uncommon, there is no problem doing so, EXCEPT don't mix bias and 
radial.

I've not tried this yet, but will be doing so shortly.
