Smile Mixing Tyres?

On my P1 @ the mo i have 4 Goodyear GSD3's,

the back ones are getting low now and need replacing.
If i put the new toyos on, will it handle like a bit*h?
Does it matter about mixing tyres?

I do drive it quite "spirited" so will need to be up to the job.

Regards.

Running Bridgestones myself on all 4 wheels, local subaru dealer is doing them, was, for £120 each

taken from subaru website
For safe vehicle operation, SUBARU recommends replacing all four tires at the same time.
WARNING: All four tires must be the same in terms of manufacturer, brand (tread pattern), construction, degree of wear, speed symbol, load index and size. Mixing tires of different types, sizes or degrees of wear can result in damage to the vehicle's power train. Use of different types or sizes of tires can also dangerously reduce controllability and braking performance and can lead to an accident. Use only radial tires. Do not use radial tires together with belted bias tires and/or bias-ply tires. Doing so can dangerously reduce controllability which can result in an accident.

lol, just noticed you are from the same area as me (i think) check out pulleyns in York, I know a guy at kwikfit and he did me a good deal, but pulleyns were cheaper!! So my guy matched them, if you can find tyres cheaper anywhere Kwikfit will match
