Maybe it would matter on a track, but on street I cannot see how the difference would be so great that you would not just get used to whatever set of tires you put on.

won't be a problem, if the profiles are very different, you might feel that but it won't cause a problem

I can't think of a reason why it would matter. I also say go for it. Think about what kind of tires racers were using 30 years ago, and how even if you've mixed and matched some tires, they are probably infinitely better than what was cutting edge when people were running races 30 years ago.

Judging by the spelling of "tires" and the "cheers mate", my guess would be the U.K., [8D]

You are rolling on two different arcs,so it won't be safeon twisty roads.

I once tried Michelin race tire on the front (PR3) and a street tire on the rearand thebike wobbled everytimeI leaned over.
