Default New Rear Tire-Dunlop Qualifiers

I need a new rear tire, I was riding and felt like my rear tire was really squidly. I checked my air and I was riding flat as could be. Anyhow, i need to replace my rear tire (I had a finishing nail in there) and I had read nice things about the new Dunlop Qualifier in my cycle mag. After checking the website, Dunlop says not to mix old/new tires. Is this just legal lingo, or is there some seriousness to this claim. Most people I know just buy a new tire when needed, usually a rear. Thoughts?
