I ran my car for many years that way with 106 or so trap speeds and never had an issue.
When the mph got over 115 that's when I started having more of a problem with it, it always felt like something was wrong or the back of the car was trying to come around at weird times.
I then put bias front runners on it for, and it went so straight and smooth at 123mph it's almost boring.....even on a bumpy track with ruts in it. I did it mostly for the weight savings but it fixed the stability problem by default.
I'd say try it and see if you are OK with it. I've seen cars do 140mph with mixed tires and nobody had a problem with it, it's kind of a driver preference thing.

Don't need any surprizes, I go through the traps at 122-124 mph. 3700lbs.+ with me in it. I think I will change them.
You're wasting money if you change them.

On the street/highway especially when it comes to being in Rain/weather mixing is a big no no. at the track you are fine. Pretty much ever super stock racer and radial tire racer are using Rear radial and front bias front runner.
