Default putting goodyear eagle f1 run-flat tires in the rear (Z has no tpms)

Is it ok to have 2 goodyear eagle f1 run-flat in the rear and 2 goodyear eagle f1 that are not run-flat in the front. My 350z has no pressure monitoring system.

^^ exZilaration is correct. You can mix run-flat with the same tire brand/model tire that is not run-flat (front-to-rear, but not side-to-side).

The disadvantage of run-flat tires is co$t, ride-comfort, and unsprung weight.

The advantage of run-flat tires is eliminating the spare tire. But that advantage is lost in your case since you are running two regular tires and two run-flat tires; you will still need a spare tire if one of your fronts (that are not run-flat) goes flat.

Is your plan to add run-flats in the front once your existing fronts are worn out?

spike that was exactly the answer i was looking for, thanks. I planned on mixing them up, but in my case since ill be looking more at the disadvantage side of having run-flats, i've changed my mind. Thanks again.
