Bahaha. Win a IPad. I still have my 1 bad Michelin. Michelin told me they would go off of tread depth and discount me another tire... I thought alright that sounds ok. I had 70% tread depth and Michelin. Would take 15% mrsp.... come on man!!! I can get a better deal through a whole seller

Well I have NT05R on the rear of my car and Nitto Invos (I know they are not MPSS tires) It drives fine on the road. I know it will affect the handling, but it still handles fairly well. Tire pressures I keep fairly low, 32 psi cold in the front and 26 psi cold in the rear. That is for a few reasons, ride quality, tire wear & diminish wheel hop. Like I said the car drives great. I have done a few highway runs just north of 200 mph with this setup and i have no issues.

Straight line runs rarely cause issues with mixed types of tires. The issue comes when you go into a corner at anything faster than a normal street driver would do. Try to corner at over 1G and the tire with the best cornering grip better be on the rear of the car or you may find the back end of the car passing the front.
