i have today ordered 4x Nokian Wr G2 tyres - all year, but winter biased - i will post the results once fitted. These replace my Scorpions.
You could always look on e-bay and buy 2 part worn tyres to match the rears meantime.

Haldax say the system can cope with a small amount of difference but advise not running with different tyres or a large difference in diameter as it could damage the AWD system. That includes type 2 and 3.
The issue with the old sleeve on the type 2 pre redesign was not related to tyres, but a corrosion and design one.
