Changing tires
Curious if anyone has ever just changed the rear tires. The front ones on mine have little wear but the rear definitely needs changing. OK to just change the rear???
Also, anyone know of good prices for tires and recommendations on brand? I currently have P-Zero Rosso. Thanks in advance guys!!!

Heard lots of good things about them.
I currently have the Dunlop SP9000, don't like them, they last long but no traction.

Tires...
Fine to change the rear tires by themselves.
I've had both the Dunlop SP Sport 9000's and the Bridgstone S03 Pole Positions and they are worlds apart.
If you like doing burn outs, get the Dunlops - they seem to spin easy.
If you like to corner fast and want absolute grip (like me) - the S03's are WAY better. These tires are much harder to break, which = more traction, which = you can push the car much harder into corners with control.
Also the S03's are very quiet in the corners, where as the SP Sport 9000s squealed more. For a comparison, the stock Michelin Sports just scream like a biaaatch under the same hard cornering.
My .02 - S03's.

Thanks for everyone's input
.
I really like the Bridgestone Potenza S-03's, but I think I am just going to change the rears with P Zero Rosso's for now. Guessing I'll need to change all 4 next year. This is just to save money for the time being so I don't have 2 half used front tires just sitting around. I do mostly normal driving anyways. But I will definintely look into better tires later.
Thanks again!
