It's certainly not an ideal situation or recommended and it can cause some handling issues. See below:

I had Goodyear runflats (which the previous owner had just purchased) on the front, and Kumho (non runflat) on the rear. I never had any issues. I don't road race , but I am a VERY spirited driver!!
Now that my wife has her car, I just donated my tires to her, and have gone to Nittos on all four corners.
