I have exactly the same setup as you propose but with 2 Continental
(vanagon spec) tires on the front. The ride is MUCH quieter than with
The Hakka CS on both front and back.

I have observed no adverse handling or wear issues and I would love to
hear from someone who knows what (s)he's talking about to tell me why
this setup is against the rules, thumb or otherwise, assuming 2WD

<snip> What about using Agilis 51 for the front during the summer, and
rotate the wheels from side to side, and then use Nokian Haka CS for
the rear year round, and for the front in the winter, with a rotation
for these that goes from front to rear to off for a season? </snip>
