Default Mixing tire brands..

Wow, I havent posted on here in awhile just got a bike and have been on gsxr.com and gixxer.com but I recently.. saw americanmuscle had the DD 03 cobras... Im thinking about getting them for the rear of the stang.. but having AM mount the drag radials on them for free so I can mount them when they get here... right now I have 03 cobras all around with goodyear eagles f1 gs-d3 tires which are mad exspensive in 315/35/17 around $300 a piece... do you think If I mount the rear with the drag radials AM supplies it will be ok with the goodyear eagle f1s upfront?

Man I want rims im too damn poor. And I already bought 4 new falken tires so ...... it would be wasteful to have to buy new tires again.

Just use your old rims and tires during the winter. Buy new rims for fall spring and summer!

mixed tires are fine on the street normally. just don't treat it like it's track ready unless it is.
