I would not mix & match tires.

If you are looking for a street driven tire I would get Hankook Ventus V12s. They are about half the price of the OEM Bridgestones and are a really good street summer tire.

No mixing and matching between front and rear? Don't the rears, depending on driving habits (read: bad habits) tend to wear out faster than the fronts?

Rears can wear out quicker than the fronts, yes. You should run a matching front/rear pair, though. You can upset the handling characteristics significantly by running two different types.
