Goodyear F1 DS3 fitment

i'm thinking of purchasing these tires to put on my rear. i have pirelli pzero neros all around and will be only placing the rears.

my questions:

what problems will i have by using different tires in the front and rear?

also, how will the DS3 compare to the pzero neros in performance?

thanks

depends on the weather
you will be creating a good bit of understeer because the GS-D3 is a much stronger performing tire

The other issue you will have is that the GS-D3's are out of stock in the 245/40/17 or 255/40/17 sizes.

I'm married with Bambino, so I don't have a real life. All I do is circle like a vulture over this forum, waiting for some dying animal to gasp his last breath so I can pick his rotting flesh apart (AKA "attorney").

One other issue: you might go for the whole set of four Goodyears from Tirerack, so you can get $75.00 in free gas. You could always sell your front Pirellis.
