Default D401? K591? Gt501?

I have a GT 501 on the back and on the front although it is due to be replaced. What I'm wondering is will a 401 work OK with the GT 501 I have on the rear?I like the wide profile of the GT501 and am so far pleased with the handling of the 501s just not the wear.My front tire wears to a point as in this weird triangular shaped pizza cutter.I don't remember my stock 401 doing that.

Pirelli MT 66 is my tire of choice. They run a lot better than the stock tires and really grab the road.

Thanks, I already ordered another GT 501.I'm not going to mix and match brands and the idea of having a stickier tire on the back than the front didn't seem right to me.I'm happy with the 501s the front just wears odd probably because of the dual compound.
