When I was looking for tires, EVERYONE said you need to have the same type of tires on both front and back or you will DEFINITELY have handling issues. No one could give me any details, however, so I wouldn't rule out this just being an old wive's tale. But I sure wasn't willing to spend the money on the tires just to experiment.

My son had all 4 of the same brand on his '85 when he bought it and it was solid and responsive at the steering wheel.
He replaced the rear tires only with a different brand and the the car felt like you were driving on an icy road with wind gusts.
