Good Year Runflat question...

[FadedSS]

Hey guys, I picked up some 325 30 19 Good Year runflats on sale at DTD for the rear of my 07 z06 and need to get some front tires in a 275 35 18. Do I need to run runflats on all four wheels or can I buy some Good year non-runflats for the front of my street wheels??? Pro's/Con's? Thanks.

Since the sidewalls of the RFs are SO much stiffer than regular tires, I'd wager that your handling characteristics would be "interesting" to say the least...

Thanks.

Yes you "should" use the run-flats all around, if you have them in the rear. The tires will handle completely differently, and is not recommended.

FYI, The front's are currently on sale for $299 Free S&H

it is a bad idea to mix and match tires on any car. Doing it with runflat tires is even worse. The sidewall deflection rates are substantially different and will have an adverse effect on the vheilce handling characteristics,
