Personally I'd go with tires that have a better wear rating.

I have that exact combo on my MM (GoodYear Eagle F1 rear and BFG stock fronts). Can't tell any difference in the handling from the BFG OEMs front and rear. However, I do think that the rear end is a little looser than with stock tires. Maybe just my perception.
I have kept the stock front BFGs since I have gotten 36K out of both sets so far. Only about half that on the rears. Don't think that I will even get 15K out of the GoodYear Eagle F1s so I may be looking at Nittos within the next 12 months.

I agree with FBMerc but if you have just a few miles left on the f1s that you plan on keeping get another type tire. It is always a good idea to keep the same tire in all four corners. Tread compounds more important side wall composition effect handling.

i have bfgs up front for the turns and what not because of the stiff sidewall.
