2- it is not advisable to have different tire types on the sides.
3- the front wheels will feel heavier than the rear ones indeed when you spin them as the resistance of the CV joints will add extra weight thus requiring extra effort.
4- try the free spin test once more on all wheels but this time spin the wheel really fast then put your ear against the fender, if you could hear grinding sound through the fender then your bearings are bad.
