Default different tires front and back?

I know it's a big no-no to use different tires for Audi's, but I accidentally purchased the wrong type for my '09 B8 A4.

I had four Perelli P6's, two needed to be replaced (due to alignment issues these two became worn out and one even gave me a flat). The other two P6's are relatively new - show barely any wear.

So without checking properly what type of tires I needed to replace (I know...wtf was I thinking) I ordered two new Pirelli P Zero Nero tires and let's just say I can't return them.

Would it be OK to have the P Zero Nero's in the front and my P6's in the back?

A buddy of mine who owns a '11 A6 told me that it shouldn't be an issue because they're very similar tires, but I wanted to confirm here.

Should not be a problem if they are all the same size.

Good article and what does Tirerack sell? Oh I thought so. Great strategy so if you get a flat tire you should then buy 4 new tires. LOL

Thanks, guys.

I'll place the two new nero zero's in the front and keep the P6's in the back.
