     Mixing compounds is fine as long as the front end has the stickier 
     version. I've been doing this with Azzaros on my last two bikes and it 
     works really well. Not only do the wear rates match up better but you 
     can be confident that (Unless you make a complete fox paw) the rear 
     will start to slide before the front, which is always reassuring.
