I thought the same thing. I mean, it only common sense you should be able to change the fronts and rears as they wear.

I switched from the stock Potenza's to the Toyo Proxis 4. At first I just changed the rears because the fronts had about 30% on them. I planned on switching them out in a couple months. Well, the new rears gripped so much better than the fronts that I was having trouble steering. It did it on flying Y's in my area doing the speed limit. It literally destroyed the handling of the car. Not to mention it was less than fabulous having the TCS kick on and the front tires go ERRR errr ERRR errr ERRR errr, as they battle the rear tires for traction. I had to drive like a Grandma for a week or so until I could afford the fronts. Now it handles better than it ever has. I am guessing if I had just changed the fronts, I would not have had that problem.

anyway, may be a helpful penny to someone

If you like not paying $1000+ for a set of daily driving tires and you know how to drive, you won't hate these tires.

I never claimed they were the best...it was merely a suggestion as I found myself liking them much more than the OEM Potenzas.

Michelin pilot sport A/S are good tires too but your gonna be dropping a little dough on them. I have BFG KDW's right now and they are pretty good for about 10k miles then the traction starts to decline pretty bad.

Never mind. I thought this was important to you. Important enough to say “thanks” or simply reply.
