I live in Nebraska and I daily drive my RWD V2, so I currently have snow tires on it.

I'll be down in Houston for an in-person tuning session with a mix of street and dyno runs for tuning purposes. My question is, would it be okay to run around with my summer tires on the rear and the snows still on the front for a couple of days?

Other than looking goofy and the front handling more softly, I don't see why it would be a problem.

It'll chew up the snow tires a bit quicker, and as said handling will be a bit softer.
I'd avoid auto cross in that configuration. Besides that, it should be ok.
