You can do whatever you want, but personally I wouldn't mix RF and non-RF tyres...

I have mixed r/f with normal tyres (as pairs) in the past for the same reason when swapping over to normal tyres........but you do need to accept that it is not an ideal set up and therefore drive well within the limits of their performance, may also be insurance issues in some circumstances?

Do what I did and sell on your two decent rears to offset the cost of changing to non-runflats all round.
