Tire question????
With the recent back ordering of Firestone Wide ovals
I now have bald front tires and new rear firestones cause the rears came in and the front did not.
My question is I can't wait a month for Firestone, so can i put non runflats on the front or is that a really bad idea? Or should I just get a cheaper run flat?

I don't think there is a cheaper run flat. I have Firestones RFT, and there a very good tire. If they disapear from the market I'll go with kumhos. There not a run flat, but there a great tire. Had them on my C5. Any how, how many times have you had or even heard of a blow out with the tire technology of today. It just doesn't happen very often. You might get a nail and a slow leak. So you put more air in the tire and drive somewhere to get it fixed.

I have mixed RF brands front and rear on my C5 in past years without any problem, and that's what I'd do in your situation.
