different brand tires on same set of wheels

saw this thread while searching.....

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.a...4b9152f1405639

so I have an offer to buy a staggered set of M contours...I want to
use the Nexens tha tI currently have on the fronts and use the Kumho's
that will come on the contours, as my rears

any weird handling problems to be worried about? can't seme to think
that there would be unless you are tracking the car heavily but for
normal street driving/highway speed driving, would this present a
problem?

Thanks for your input...

Not IMO.
Obviously the ideal is to have all tyres matching, but I don't see any real
problem with having different make matching tyres on each axle.
