Question pilot sport and sport2 combo

I drive an 00 e55 . I need rear tires.

The NTB guys say it is okay to combine sport and sport2's on the same car as long as they are not combined on the same axle.

Looking for some expert advice. Any one know the answer or who I might be able to contact to find out?

depends on the weather
mixing and matching tires is never a good idea ... that combo will cause extreme understeer .... I would not recommend it .... the NTB guy doesn't have a clue ....
