tire question - need help!

hi I am a newbie, so really need your help.

My cls is still on 4 stock tires. Recently, I found out that two front tires almost wore out, so I am planning to change tires. I am currently looking at Falken azenis St-115 tire. my question is : can I keep two stock tires at the rear and only change two front tires with ST-115. I am not sure if this is ok, so need your help. thanks

All four tires should really be the same brand/type.
You should also ROTATE your tires so they all wear out at the same time.

You could only buy 2 tires and put them on the front.

Drive it like that until it's time to rotate your tires then buy two more tires (exact same ones) and put those on the front and the other ones in the back. Just like a regular rotation.

Don't drive out of the ordinary because performance is hindered.

The ST115s are awesome tires!! I love the set I just put on my car. Quiet+good grip. tires.com has them for $104 in 235/45/17. If you get 4 you can upgrade to that size. They also have a 97 load rating. They are smaller than most 235s so they should be a good fit on the stock rims as well.

If you're going to be driving in snow summer tires won't work very well at all.
