It does depend a lot on the particular tires.
I've mixed and matched a few times in the past where I had an already mounted tire on a rim. It really does vary a lot. I ran a Pirelli on the front and a Dunlop on the back of my turbo bike and it felt fine. Both were very soft compounds.
I tried a Michelin on the front and a Continental on the rear of one of my Z1's and that combination lasted less than a day.
Tires give a little when you go hard into a corner - essentially drifting across the road. If the front tire gives more than the rear, you get a very uneasy feeling... That's what happened with the Michelin on the front.
