I do this too. Sometimes. Sometimes I just replace the rear - particularly if I'm staying with the same tire type. But if I'm changing to a different tire type, for some reason I'm moved to replace both.
Later I look through my pile of old tires and I wonder why a perfectly good one is in the scrap heap.
