Different tyres F/R

I had a search but couldn't find anything ;)
Just checking if there are any handling issues with running different brand tyres front and rear or if there are any legal issues etc
Cheers! :drinkup:

Certainly no legal issues and for conservative riding, very little in the way of handling issues.

Tyre company wisdom says only ever run same brand both ends.
Real life wisdom says if tyres are much the same in performance characteristics, then what's the problem?
The one no-no is mixing radial/cross ply.

May be... may not be... couldn't say either way.

Too many tyres on the market, some have definitely had speed wobbles or weaves that were corrected by running matched tyres. I very seldom run unmatched tyres, but didn't have issues when I did.

How long is a piece of string?
