Hi everybody , today i need to buy new tires specially the rear tires because they are bald , know i run hankook ventus k 105 , the front are very good , here in panama is dificult to find good brands or the right sizes , i have this shop that have dunlop direzza z 101 255 - 40 - 17 rear , but they dont have the front tires . So if its ok if i put the new direzzas in the rear and run with the hankook ventus in the front that are 90 % new ...my handling , brake power , stability , aligment is going to be ok, 255 fit well with my car... thanks please good answers and 0 throlls

 

I would be inclined to say stop driving the car. Drive one of the other family cars. Order the proper Hankooks and wait for them.

 

i would be inclined to start ONE thread, and do a little reading first.

typically, if you are going to have different tires front/rear, you want to try to put more grip on the REAR

 

How long are we talking, a day or two? Can you take the new rear tires home until the new fronts get there?

 

I find that At Tirerack.com, When you purchase a set of four (4) Dunlop Direzza DZ101 tires or Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec tires you may be eligible to receive a $50 mail-in rebate.
The rebete for it.

Hope it is helpful for you.

 

Most would be better off with more grip at the REAR (less oversteer).

It looks like the K105 tires are more of a UHP tire than Max Performance.
In which case, the Dunlop DZ101's should be an OK match.

Still, grip will be lower than OEM...

 

I would never say to have more grip in the front. You are asking for oversteer in an emergency situation. The tire mfg's always say to run the newest and best tire on the rear of the car.
I would try to match the tires for the best performance.

 

It is always proper to run the same tires all around, but it technically would be okay to run 2 matching fronts with 2 matching rears.

The only thing I recommend you not to do, is run different tires in all directions. They will deplete all handling on your car what so ever.

 

wow yeah that was a heck of a typo. let's go fix that right now...
