Default Different front/rear tires

What is the effect of running a different brand/model of tires in the front and in the rear.

I.e. If I had realy gripppy Azenis up front, and stock tires in the rear. I am not a really agressive driver. I don't drag, I'm mainly concerned with all weather handling (I only used the Azenis as an example).

2 of my stock tires are fine, but 1 could use replacing. And the stock tires aren't worth the money to buy new ones, they are sucky stock RSX michellins.

Thanks,
-PHiZ

Since you have matching tires now, put the one that "could use replacing" on the rear (assuming here that it still has some tread), so that the good ones are on the front, which will even out the wear. Then when you're ready to buy more tires, assuming you want to get something stickier, replace all four at the same time.
