Mix Front and Rear Tire Brands??
I have Bridgestone S-02's on my 1992 911 Turbo. The fronts have about 15,000 miles on them, and they are in great shape. The problem is the rears. I go through a set every 8,000 to 9,000 miles (285/30 18's), especially the right rear one. I plan on getting the alignment looked at, since the right one wears faster.
I know I shouldn't expect a ton of miles from these tires, since they are a soft compound, but most of my driving is highway. Yep, I drive the car, I put the rears that are on it, in April of 2007, and they need to be replaced again.
Since the fronts are in good shape, can I try a different brand tire for the rears, or should I stick with the S-02's for another 9,000 miles, and replace all four of them with a different type at one time?
Thanks!
Bill
