Should I only change front time of different brand?

[Pauley]

My CB1100 came with the Dunlop D205 tires. I picked up a nail with only 1,200 or so miles on the bike. I could not find a D205 replacement locally so I bought a Bridgestone BT-54 for the rear so I have been riding for several thousand miles with a Dunlop on the front and a Bridgestone on the rear. They're essentially the same tire so don't worry about it.

I bought a new BT-54 for the front and have it waiting. The OE Dunlop on the front is feathering pretty badly so I'm going to replace it in about another couple of hundred miles.
