Mixing Snow Tire Brands

Need to replace my rear snow tires that are Dunlop Winter Sport 3D. Can't find them anywhere in stock though.

Is it a bad idea to run Blizzaks in the rear only? There's still plenty of tread left in the front Dunlops and would rather not spend the money on more tires.

Not mine but hopefully these are the right size.

Dunlop Winter Tires (fronts only) https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1538130

I was trying to find a listing where the seller had a mixed set. He justified it as the rear had a larger contact patch.

Best tires go to rear...
I don’t see any issue with winter tires.

Certainly better than worn tires on the rear, that’s a dangerous oversteer situation!

I have the Wintersports and just ordered Bridgestone for the rear. I think LM001. I am not at all concerned about mixing.
