Different Tire Question??
i HAVE A 95 COUPE AND NOTICED THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WEARING OUT, THE BACK TIRES ARE PERFECT. THEY ARE GOODYEAR RUN FLATS. THE CAR STEERS AND DRIVES STRAIGHT, YOU CAN TAKE HANDS OFF THE WHEEL AND IT STAYS PRETTY STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM A LITTLE AFRAID OF THE LEFT TIRE BLOWING OUT SO I AM GOING TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT TIRES AND HAVE AN ALIGHNMENT NOW FOR THE QUESTION. WILL IT HURT T
O PUT A DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRES ON THE FRONT? DIFFERENT TREAD PATTERN? I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE GY RUNFLATS, NOISE AND SUCH>

First tip: Please don't use all caps when posting. It's not easy to read.
Now for your tires, lots of people use different brands front and rear. The tire shops don't recommend it though. Are you going to use non runflats.

Yikes, me eyes hurt. Like RollaMo-LT4 said, ok to mismatch front to rear as long as you match across the axles. Lot of us also running different sizes front to rear with no problems and GM even built C4s with different sized tires.
