Tire question
I have MICH run flats on my 2000 c5 and my back tires are in good shape but front tires will have to be replaced soon. I would like to return to Goodyear Run Flats and my question would be would it be better to replace all four with GY run flats ? Would there be a problem if I put the GY on the front and keep MICH on back any ride issues.

If you keep the same size it wont make a difference. Most people want to get away from the expensive and not so well performing Goodyears. Your the first one Ive seen who wants them. Any reason?

So.....if you replace the fronts and run the rears.....you'll end up needing rears and the fronts will still be okay......so you replace the rears and then the fronts are gone and in the meanwhile you are running a non matching set in tread depth or whatever.
So go for all four at once.......ditch the run-flats.....and enjoy the benefits.
Don't forget an alignment if you haven't had one for quite a while.

I think I had better ride with GY run Flats than my Mich run flats and they are wider than the MIch run flats.
