You'll be just fine, as long as they're the same left/right, and you go with the correct sizes all around.

Youll be fine. Im running 255/35/19 t1rs up front and 275/35/19 ecsta spts in the rear. Only because the rims i bought needed the rears replaced and spt's were all i could afford at the moment

you'll be fine. keep to the same size and all is well. but remember to change in pairs otherwise the ride quality will be crap. (both front at the same time or both rear)

Bad idea. Put the same tires on the same axle. It’s a performance sports car for keeriste sakes.

Due to drift events im always driving different brands....but always the same brand and size from left to right....like everyone else is mentioning.

I typically have my sticky good rubber for grip and direct up front and whatever im willing to burn off in rear.... So I'm almost always set up like that to where i just show up to the next event and im ready to drift.

you will be fine.

Ya i told him to just throw the stocks back on until he can afford the tires for his rims. Theyre 22's so each tire is about 300 plus mounting and balancing
