Default Different Tyres Front and Rear

Thought this might get a little more feedback in General Technical:

I have two sets of two tyres (both new). One is supposed to be slightly more grippy, but not wear as well; whereas the other is less grippy but harder wearing. Based on a newage car with a A-DCCD setup, which set should I fit to the front and which to the rear?

Hi
Personally Id have the slightly gripper set on the front , if only to help keep the understeer in check, over steer is more fun
If the rears wear a little quicker as they do on mine they will be due for replacement at the same time .
Second option is to sell on pair and but two others to match
Regards Matt

Thanks Matt, appreciate the reply.
I was leaning in that direction too
Tyres are P Zero Nero and P Zero Rosso, so similar enough to work together I think.
