Default Tires

Ok, here goes. I just had a fender bender, 'er cracker. Trashed the left front fender, wheel & tire. As my body guy was doing the estimate we noticed that the front tires are Generals and the rear are Goodyears (the way the car came when I bought it). Since I am going to replace the two front tires should I go again with Generals or Goodyears? Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
Gerry

what kind of tread depth do you have left on the rear tires?

I would go ahead and replace all 4 so they match, that's just my opinion though. Plus then you can choose what tires you want.

Pretty good tread depth in the rear Goodyears, better than the Generals in front.
