Default Mixed front and rear

Found a screw up in the recessed part of my rear tire where I doubt it can be plugged?

Both tires are standard Harley/Dunlop. I would like to go with Commanders but can't afford front (which does not need to be replaced - good tread) and rear at the same time.

Ok to mix or should I just get another Dunlop to keep them matched. I would replace the front with a Commander when the time comes

Ok Michelins are bias but can't find a thing on the Dunlop site that tells what they are
