Reply to "I need new tires..."

Partial answer to my own question. There appears to be a problem with finding a front tire in 185/65/15 in the same brand as the rear 205/60/15 size. The only Brand/model that matches is the Bridgestone Potenza RE950, a "high-performance all-season" tire, as described by the tire rack. I would like a summer ultra-performance or summer high-performance, but there are no Brands that offer matching front and rear tires in the above sizes.

So....are there or should there be any problems with a 205 rear tire in one brand and a 185 front tire in another brand? I am thinking about handling on asphalt twisties as well as rain-grooved freeways.

And...are there any real differences between "summer" vs. "all-season" tires? I might be getting anal here, but can someone please give me a hand?
