Tire replacement
Hi,
I am due for tire change, only the front pairs.
Is it possible to just change the fronts?
My total mileage is around 25k miles. A bit disappointed with the stock Pirellis

And it does not have to be the same model or brand tire. It is not an ideal situation to have mixed tires. But, you can do it. It only becomes a problem if you mix tires left to right.

There are some other threads in this forum regarding cobbling-together a spare tire setup (if you go to non-run-flats).
Also at least one thread I saw with someone outright replacing the run flats with a regular setup (General Tires, IIRC), but IDK if he/she ever reported back any long term results...you could ask!

Why not spend the extra money and replace all 4 with a quality non run flats and take care of them rotation and balance every year and have a peace of mind for the next 5 years?
Donate the rear tires.

+1 - This is what I did. Replaced run flats at 2k with non run flat and have tires stored in the garage. Will have them re-installed when I return lease. Rotate myself every 5-6K. Much better ride overall - Keep them at 31-32 PSI cold and ride is really nice. Never looking back and will do the same with every car I get that comes with RF.

How about the handling?

Just replaced the OEM Pirelli Scorpion Verde run-flats (19") with Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady non-run-flats. So far, ride is very noticeably improved (despite the tire shop setting the pressures at 38/44 F/R) and hydroplaning seems much better. Looking forward to the first road trip with these tires!
