Default Tire question
I asked this in the wheels and tire section and didn’t get a response. Maybe I will here. I want to put 345/30/19 r888r on my car. Can I leave my MPSS on the front without a problem?

Thanks

I have Nitto NT05R on the rear and Invos on the front. Not a problem.

do what you want as long as there in pairs, I just would want runflats and non if I was driving hard, but I'm with him not a problem. directional tires you can rotate side too side by mount and dismount to in crease milleage

Thank you all for the replies. My biggest concern is setting off the Nannies.

You still need to keep tire diameters close to the original or you will have issues.

To your question, yes, you can run R888R on rear and MPSS in front without any issue... I myself run NT05R in rear and Invos in front.
