PZero Rosso Rear - Stock Front
Guys,
Since she's been a very nice girl since day 01, today I decided to give my C63 her first gift after 1,5 years: a new pair of shoes.
Since I live in a god forsaken country for performance car lovers, the OEM Pirelli Pzeros are not imported here. So, I almost decided (almost) to give the lady a pair of Pirelli PZero Rosso (runflats) in the rear. Nothing fancy. Something about 265-35-18 or 255-35-18, as they come stock.
Trouble is: I'm feeling generous, but not millionaire. So, I'll be changing only the rear tires. Do you guys think there's a problem to use the PZero Rosso Runflats in the rear and keep the OEM Pirellli Pzeros (non-runflat) in the front? They seem in nice shape and could last a couple of thousand miles still (which is a lot to me, since the car has 9k miles now).
What do you guys think? Should I go with the PZero Rossos or should I substitute all the tires for the runflats? Or forget the PZeros and go for Michelin PS2? Bear in mind that this would be much more expansive, so I'm trying to avoid it, if possible.

runflats wear terribly and ride stiff, and pzero rosso's are terrible for the price I got a full set of those on my last car big mistake. I would absolutely get the PS2's.

Geez! Thanks for the info, guys. I'm gonna go for the PS2. So, I can assume it would be OK to keep the PZeros in the front and put the PS2s in the rear??
