RE: rear tires
There are many theories on tire mixing.
I have mixed tires for the last 5 years and never had a problem. I have mixed tires on all my sport bikes as well.
The biggest concern for me was wet weather riding with two different tire brands, but never had a problem wet or dry.
I would no worry about it myself.
They use this tactic to sell more rubber IMO.

RE: rear tires
It's all smoke and mirrors! Do you really think all that crap like the sidewall matters on a bike with a 300 in the rear and a skinny 21 incher in the front? Buy one tire enjoy the ride. I've rode bikes for years swapping out tires as they wore out and never had a problem.
