Default Nittos Front&Toyos Rears..Will it work?

I am currently running Nitto 555 19s: 245/35 Fronts/ 275/30 Rears
I am thinking when my rear tires wear out, I could replace them with some Toyos T-1s..
Will it be possible to use the Nitto 555 fronts with Toyos T-1 rears??
I checked and the Nittos are Z rated while Toyos are Y rated...

of course it will work, but they have different tread patterns so they may not complement each other all that well

Thanks guys for quick info. The Goodyear seems to be alil more expensive than Toyos from treadepot.com.

I just want to make sure it won't thow off alignment or excessive/uneveb wear or anything by using different brand n rated tires..
