Just wondering, but what would the issue be with mixing them if the diameter is the exact same? I want the Re11s in the rear for the performance they give and traction but don't need all that in the front so the V12s are still great but a lot cheaper per wheel lol. If there is a big issue then I won't do it..

Could be dangerous during spirited driving;
As 2 completely different tread compounds & tread designs.
They could give you confidence on certain roads & then go stupid & cause you to lose control.
I know this sounds extreme; but you're not riding in a to & from work pos.
These cars can hurt you & the tires are a very important part of keeping everything balanced & under control.

It's not the best idea to mix tires front and rear. Sometimes you can get some weird handling issues. There have been a couple of threads on the subject.

The previous owner of my car saw fit to put garbage on the front and nitto nt555 out back. The understeer is just fantastic
