Default New Rubber...

Ordered these from TireRack at 12:38pm on Tuesday...selected UPS Ground and the UPS guy just dropped them off today at 5:30.

The stock Goodyears in the rear had each been patched once and the right rear got another nail and I did not want to stick with Goodyears, because the Michelin's were $100 cheaper per tire.

So I'll have the Goodyears in the front still, but at least some new tread on the back.

275/40ZR -18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP RunFlat

Question

Just wondering, can you mix non run flats with run flats?
