And i would agree, with the priviso that once fitted you do a bit of testing where safe to get the feel of the handling yourself in varying conditions, though that should apply wherever you fitted tyres of different characteristics.
Years ago it was common to fit 'town and country' tyres to the drive axle of cars, almost all being RWD in those days, they didn't all promptly slide into the ditch because those deep treaded rear tyres had different grip in varying conditions.
Indeed the experts all say that new tyres should be fitted to the rear only (obvious with RWD) but said experts remian quiet when cars have different front/rear sizes and forget to factor in the sometimes extended bedding in or scrubbing off periods of many new tyres.
