Installing different tires
All,
Due to an issue with a flat, I had a set of F1 GS-2 tires installed on my front wheels. The issue is I still have the supercar tires on the rears. Will this create any significant issues other than uneven mileage between the sets of tires?
Cheers!

I doubt there is a problem with this unless you track the car. They are both good tires. I am curious about something else though. Have you noticed any change in road noise or ride quality since the change? Thanks.

Thanks. I think the GS-2s are be a bit noisier than the Supercar tires, at least on concrete freeways. I think they ride a little rougher over bumps too. Not a big deal, but noticeable. This is a small price to pay for the outstanding combination of performance and treadwear of the GS-2s IMO.

I just replaced my Supercar Tires with GS-2's. They do seem a bit more noisy, but not enough to bother me, especially since I should get at least twice the mileage from them. One thing that I did was get a good 4 wheel alignment done, the tech couldn't believe how far off the alignment was from factory specs. Money well spent--e
