Does this make sense?
No, it doesn't make any sense to me. If it makes you feel any better, I don't agree with AI either with regards to running softer tires in the rear. I think in the end, run what gives you the fastest laps, the best consistancy, and ease of driving for the length of the race. As it is, the fronts are made of different rubber and different width. I don't see how it really is better/or worse to run any pre-determined shore combo. Run what works best overall.
