I think either rider or I am misunderstanding the question. I assume number 2 means two different tires, ie a Pilot Power Front and Pilot Road rear.

I do run softer compounds up front, but when I do it's usually the same tire. For example a Michelin Power Race C front, which is med-soft and a Power Race 5 rear, which is a multi-compund med-hard tire, however they are the same brand and model so they are intended to be matched like that. Or a SC1/SC2 set of Dragon Supercorsas.

I would not run two different tires, like a pilot power front and pilot road rear. And I definitely wouldn't run two different brands. Why? Because I have to buy tires anyway, why not buy matching sets?
