I wouldn't recommend mix matching tires.

I had the G-Max AS-03, they are a very good all-season tire. Very good performance all year round, and that car doesn't turn into a sled during a snow fall.

TireRack rates them second best for Performance All-Season if I recall.

I was skeptic as well but I bought a set of wheels with a new set installed, and I figured I'd try them out, was quite impressed with them.

Generals have been a great all season option for the $. Hankook is equally as good for a summer only tire, so it really depends on what avenue you want to go tire class wise. Highly recommend these in full sets front/rear as they can be unpredictable mixed with other brands/models.
