Perfectly legal to mix brands.
The only rule of thumb is to have the softer compound tyre on the front - so the back must be a harder compound.
I ran a Michelin 2CT front with a Bridgestone Bt023 on the back for several months without any problems.
As long as you follow the 'soft compound on the front rule' you shouldn't have an issue.

It's a shame the Bridgestone BT 023's don't last longer as I'm really happy with the grip levels
I'm gonna be doing the same next week.
I've owned and/or ridden lots of bikes with mixed tyres and never had any sort of handling issues. I think tyre pressures is way more important.
This will be the first time, that I can remember anyway , that I've knowingly mixed brands.
It's not something I would readily advocate, and I agree with Nicki and Snowy's views.
I'll be fitting a matched front in the near future, there's still mileage in my existing front.
For me it's just a case of needs must.

i wont comment on the 2 different tyres but i am running on maxxis at the moment. i'm using supermaxx sports front and back and dont mind them. i feel confident and they seem to warm very quickly. i have read that metzelers are really good and they cost about the same as a maxxis. just a thought for you
