its time to replace the rear tires yet again. thinking of the Michelin super sports, seem to get great reviews so far. being thrifty i am loathe to throw away the original Pirelli PZero tires upfront. how many people have run different tires front to back? the job of the front tires is so different than the rears, it seems that the standard advice to use the same brand/model of tire, whilst desirable perhaps in a perfect world, seems like overkill.

i know i am driving a powerful sports car and if i am worried about the extra $500 perhaps i should trade for a civic, but still it seems a shame to throw out good tires for questionable reasons.

please share your thoughts.

I don't think mismatched tires on a RWD car are going to be a problem. With ESP ABS etc any differences the way the tires react will be compensated for. About the time the rear go away again you'll need new fronts.
