Got a question about different tires up front and rear.

I know it's best to run the same tires all around. But I found some local deals hard to resist.

I already have a pair of RE050a non runflat for the rear and is looking for a pair of front tires.
For the fronts I found a local deal for a pair of RE-11 (only comes in non runflat) or a pair of RE050a run flats. Price is about the same.

Which is better and should I do it?
- RE050a tires all around, but runflat up front and non runflat rear.
OR
- RE-11 front and RE050a rear.

Thanks.

 

I have never ran different front and rear tires .Seems like when it is time to replace the rear tires, the front has few miles left. So I just get 4.

If you need 2 tires just get 2 not 4.

 

Thank you for the stimulating conversation.
