Should I replace the fronts now and the rears in a couple of months? Or replace all 4 (I get a 5% discount if I do this from event-tyres.co.uk)

Any issues mixing front and rears like this (although it'll only be mixed for that 2 months)?

S02s currently all round, new ones will be the RE050A.
Replace them all, they are two different compounds for a start, not to mention tread patterns, they perform very different in different conditions.

If it was just replacing the same type replacing as a pair would be fine however mixing types of tyre is not recomended.
