have done it like this for years with good results. It’s kinda like fine tuning an adjustable suspension and I prefer the softer NITTOs in the front. I will say, I’d never do it with Chinese knock off tires. I stick to the reputable brands.

Quick question, finally went to Contis all season high performance tires on my 427 vert. I will never get run flats again. Ride is so much better.
Do you use the same inflation as called out for the run flats ?
Thanks in advance for advice

I put Continental ExtremeContact Sports on the Z last spring. Have had 2 other sets on a 01 Bullitt and my 97 Miata.

Want to thank everyone for their recommendations and advice. I decided to go with the continental extreme contact O2. My local tire shop gave me a good price $1180 out the door.
