Mixed tires usually are a no no because one has more grip then the other instead of even grip.

not only that, but there is always a reason that somthing is sold for that much of a discount. the tire is probably an old one or something

Mixed tires are a no no especially when you have a stickier rear than the front. The profiles are going to be different as well. The combo you are trying to put together is exactly that.
