I need to replace my front tyres shortly.

Currently they are original Bridgestone REO50 mz's.

I replaced the rears last year with relacement REO50 mz's and they currently have at least 5 mm tread remaining .

So, should I replace the fronts with original spec tyres or try something else bearing in mind that the rear tyres will then be a different type ?.

Does anyone have any experience of different front and rear tyre combinations/ comments on any impact in handling ?

Ta.

 

Longitudinally asymetric tyres are ok.

Its the laterally asymetric combo that is bad.

When I bought the S, I had Bridgestones on the front, GSD 3's on the rear.

The bridgestones were crap, but I don't think that is a fair review because I think they had been on the car since new!
