Nissan is offering to replace my two front tires since they're BADLY feathered. Anyways, if they do this they won't give me the same Bridgestones my Z came with. Instead, they'll replace them with a new tire Bridgestone has manufactured that will supposedly be stronger.

Since it will be a different tire, is it ok (and safe) for me to have different tread patterns on the front and on the back?

 

Sorry if my question was confusing. What I meant to ask was if the tread patterns in the front didn't match that back...would that pose as a problem?

 

They should be fine, as long as the tires are the same on each axle.

 

Yep that will definitely be fine.

 

i have re40s in front, so3s in back, no prob.

 

So what is the name of this new tire? What yr is your z?

 

I have a 2004 Z. I have no idea what the name of the new tire is. I'm a bit skeptical, but we'll see if this is actually a new tire. I'll keep you guys posted once I find out the name of this new tire.
