Default Mixing Hoosier A6's with Hoosier A7's

I know the A7's haven't been out very long so might be tough to answer but just curious what would happen if you ran A6 on the front with A7 on the rear? Looking at 295/30R19 front and 325/30R19 rear but Hoosier doesn't make the A7 for some reason in the A7 but still do in the A6. Same thing with the rears. These are going on a 2013 ZR1 and i already have the wheels. Any thoughts?

From what I've been told (and heard from others) they aren't ramping up production of A7's until inventory of same size A6's are gone, and they are saying that mixing and matching won't be an issue if you don't want to wait.

No problem there, the compounds are the same, the sidewall has a small change in the a7, this from Hoosier tech support.

Have you considered the 315f/345r in A7? Looks like tirerack has both tires in stock now. You will eventually have to switch to the A7 anyway when the A6's are no longer available. Also your tire heights will work well with the above combo since it's pretty much the same stagger as stock(height wise).
