<E36 328is> Pirelli P6000 vs. Yokohama A509

["Sawwa, Christopher" <CSawwa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My both rear P6000's are bald and I need to get a new set. But... I am
turning the car back in at the end of the lease in march, so I'd like to
spend as little as possible on the replacement, while still maintaining
a decent ride. Would it be a heresy to get two Yokohama A509's for the
rear (at $80/pop instead of $130/pop for the P6000's), while the front
has Pirelli P6000's? Tire Rack info states that's it's OK to get
different tires, as long as they are the same per axle, and are within
the same performance group relative to the other axle. The A509's appear
to be in the same performance neighborhood, according to the Tire Rack
classifications. Does anyone have any comments regarding this swap? Any
info would be highly appreciated.
