Can I replace my front tires w/ Bridgestone S-03's and leave my rear stock....
Just for a thousand miles or so? or would the car not know what was going on w/ the different tires?

well if its only for a few thousand miles ok but........
because the tires will be diffrent tread compounds on the rear and the front traction will also be diffrent too....by the way i have the s-03's on my car and i love them....good luck buddy

Different tires, different effective measurements, plus
the real problem, even if they were the same diameter would be the difference in traction between front and back and that could eb very dengerous in the right conditions.
Same exact reason why you should never put only 2 winter tires, sure, put them at the front of your fwd car and it will go, but the back of the car won't really have much traction when trying to stop and you can imagine the back end coming around, right?
