Mismatch rubber?

I need rear AD08s for an HPDE event in two weeks, but they are unavailable at tire rack and other sites. Have any of you run with different rubber on the rear vs. front? If not, any recommendations on an alternative set of four for street and track use? I drive a 996 GT3. Thx.

wouldn't advise mismatch, although some say if front is matched and rear is matched could be ok...you might try some Nitto NT-01's...you might not go back

Doesn't look like the NT-01s are available in OEM specs.

I agree! I have run different brands on the same car but always maintained pairs
