Default Im stuck.. 2 diff rear tires? FML.

Look, i know i know.. its friday... if youre still at work and on here.. YOURE BORED.

But Im still gonna run it past yal to try to get a few real answers.

Anything ( other than the obvious donkercision of my car) bad w running two diff tires for a fairly breif period of time in the back when they are already so damn big??



I have in my possesion one pair of 305/25/20 pirelli PZero Neros... on my 20x12s they are stretched to the T.

( I dont want this btw).

SO, i bought a single Pirelli 325/25/20 on ebay... aaaaand now i cant find another.. No one has them in stock, and Pirelli is backordered for at least 90 days.

SO, in the meantime i have a few options... run the 305s and risk my traction as well as the lip of my wheel.

Or split manufactureres on my rear tires.

Ive called the manufacture themselves and gotten detailed specs.. and all my options come in at 26.4 overall diameter...the only variation in section width.. my Pirelli is a 13 and my options range from 12.9 to 13.2

i can get one cheap so cost isnt the issue... but ditching this already in hand Pirelli is not an option at this time.

You have tires on the car now? Then leave them there until you get this straightened out.

never mix tires on the same end i.e. side to side.

sorry man it is a really bad idea to mix and match tires on the the same axle. you can have different front tires from rear tires, but don't do what you are discussing.

run that stretched crap until you can find another tire or a matching set for the rear.

sorry, it can be hard to find **** when you run that wide
