I have the Nitto 555R drag radials out back, and the Nitto 555RII up front. I love the setup. I don't think having a different brand/style up front would hurt the handling too much, if at all, but I can't say for sure. Having the RII's up front on mine, rather than the R's, is just fine.

I thought I read somewhere that it is not good to run drag radials on the rear with runflats up front ?
