With about 14k on them, my current rear S02's are getting dangerous. The fronts have the same milage on them and are showing some wear, but don't look like they need to be replaced yet. I don't know if it's a good idea to pair "old" front tires with new front ones though. But, I also can't really afford to buy four OEM tires right now.

So, which would be better, buying two S02's for the rear and pairing them with the old fronts (about $425) OR buying four tires along the lines of the Fuzion's (about $400) or Hankook's (about $500)?

 

People have been replacing their rear S02s at a rate of 2 to 1 for the fronts for years. As long as the fronts are still in good condition, with adequate tread, there should be no problems. The worst that can happen is you'll increase the understeer (or reduce the oversteer) of the car, which is not a bad thing.
