Hey Guys - I know there are plenty of posts out there but I need a very fast answer and I cant comb through all the searches!
My rear dunlop's are down to the wire and I need to replace them before 6pm today. With 2 hours to go, I'm wondering if its an issue to have NON RF on the rear and have the Dunlop RF's in the front. Will this be a problem?! I hate the Dunlop's and changing all four right now would suck because the front's are so damn new.

Please advise!

Z

I don't think mixing RFT and Non-RFT's is recommended. I think you're going to have to bite the bullet!

What should I do with those front RFT's? Theyre literally like a month old. This sucks.

Sell them , or try seeing if the tire dealer will knock some cash off the non run flats that will replace them . usually decent dealers will work with you on replacing near new tires.

LOL I ended up just doing all four tires. RFT's are a rip off. I got some nice Michelins. I'm satisfied. Thanks for the prompt responses.
