Default mixing hoosier a3s05 and a6's in autoX?

I have new: 2 a6's and 2 a3s05's to use on my C4 to autocross with the A6's on the front.

I'm thinking about how to break them in as a set and I'm wondering about needing to learn 2 different tires at the same time. Does anyone think this set up is a huge mistake, just a little more to be concerned with, or by and large OK? Hoosiers are new to me and I wouldn't have picked mixing them, but it's what I own. Would you all run them like this?

thanx!

The biggest difference in the tires is in the compound and it's durability and heat tolerance (improved for the A6) They both will feel similar, but be ready for one pair to wear or lose grip before the other over time.

prepare for major over/understeer pending location on 2 different compounds. I would not advise but if you are on a budget then be carefull.
