Default Mixing Tire Brands- HELP!!!
This is probably a real dumb question, but would like to hear from those who have placed one brand of tires on the front and another on the rear. I am planning on placing Kuhmos on the front (new) and Continentals on the rear (new) on my base C6. Both brands are rated ZR. Would I experience any handling differences or wear problems?

Thanks,

John

I'm running OEM Goodyears on the front & Nitto INVO's on the rear. No problems and better traction.

I ran stock tires up front and Nitto 555 DR's on the back on 18" aftermarket rims and no problem at all. That was with 520 RWHP
