I just went through the same thing. Installed a new back tire. Back tire is super white, front tire is yellow. I had t scrub the front tire with scotchbrite and tide detergent. 3 months later and they both look even

@MURPHCC1 That looks like the Cape area - maybe the Canal? It’s been a few years so I could be way off.
You are indeed correct Sir.
That is the train bridge on the Cape Cod Canal.
Sig pic below is at the rest area mid Canal area, Sagamore Bridge in the background.

Other than maintenance issues, I have nothing else against white wall tires on any vehicle..... I just don't see the need for them, the attraction of them, and quite frankly don't care whether a vehicle has them or not.....
I haven't purchased a white wall tire in ages (like 30+ years), unless they were part of some special sale price...
But as this thread demonstrates, many have very strong opinions on them.... and many really like them...
OP, my only concern would be the black wall rear tire, with a white wall front tire would stick out like a sore thumb.....
Even though I don't take notice of whether a vehicle has white wall tires or not, I'm pretty sure I would notice if the tires were mismatched.....
I guess as a kid, I did too many of those puzzles where you find the differences between two pictures...

The preference of black walls to white walls to white stripe is probably quite similar to the preference between blondes, brunettes and ( you knew i would say this ) redheads ... As far as getting down on your knees I've been there on all of them and I'm on my 73rd trip around the sun, riding scooters for over 50 years and will soon ( December ) be celebrating my / our 53rd Anniversary ... Guess that about covers it :>)
