Title: Running Bridgestone RE50A\'s at the FRONT...ADVISE....
Post by: waqas_RX7 on March 19, 2010, 11:58:14 AM
Hi

 
Basically as some of you know I am getting my wheels refurbed SOON in the run up to Japfest.
 
Basically I am currently running Michelin Pilot Sport 2\'s all round, but the FRONT 2 tyres need replacing. The REAR 2 tyres are in very good condition.
 
My question is would it be fine to run NEW Bridgestone RE50A’s at the FRONT and the Michellin Pilot Sports 2’s at the REAR?
 
Thing is I have heard very very good reviews on the Bridgestone RE50A’s and am getting a really good deal for them.
 
Please advise? I am also looking to track my car twice this year if it helps.

Appreciate it ;)

It\'ll be fine dude - keep pairs on axles the same, but mixing front/rear is no issue at all :)

Yep - all good .... I run RE050A\'s on the front of mine - they\'re good! ;)

Would love a set of michelin pilot sport 2\'s all the way round one day though! :burnout

keep an eye on your tyre pressures though (if there run flats) had a lot of people at work with nasty uneven wear, because they dont look flat they didnt check the pressures, you dont want to waer them out eraly because there not cheap lol
