depending on how you ride, you can prolly get away with mixing....issues come into play when you ride in the rain or if you push it hard.....if I am not mistaken Fishy did a piece on that very thing a while back....

I think that You can do it but why bother, because even if the front has some thread left it has allready worn and it will make the bike turn worse. And if You're allready changing the back it's only 100 or so $ more and You have better riding bike.
