If the fronts have that much left, just get matching rears. Do not mix match tires.

Ahh i just looked at em, they are maybe 50% left? Thats just a guess... But they are all seasons, I just want to get some nice summer tires, so what do you guys think, of the two i posted above? I just have stock 16" ap1 rims, or would you guys recommend something else, I don't want to spend too much...

I've put maybe 200 miles on my Direzza's so far, massive difference in steering feel and response compared to my Advan's (granted their all-seasons, but I still really like them) and feel much more sure footed than the old RE050's that it came with as well.

Go with the Dunlops, you couldn't pay me enough to get another set of Bridgestone's.

They are all going to last about the same, depending on your driving style, I'd say anywhere between 5k-15k.
