Hi guys,
I've got 2 new RE070's to put on the front of the car soon. The reasons for buying are that the rear passenger side tyre is wearing from the inside so I plan on putting the tyres that are on the front currently, (Goodyear Eagles) on to the rear and stick the Bridgestones on the front. I have a few issues though.
The Eagles on the front are 215 width and the rears (Currently Dunlops) are 225 so if I put the Bridgestones on the front it will be running slighty thinner tyres at the rear - does this matter and will it affect handling at all? I'm thinking is perhaps just getting another set of RE070's so I'm running them all round (225 width)?
I'm begrudged doing this really as it's expensive, in addition to this the Eagles still have plenty of tread on them and it seems a waste to take them off, my worry is running two totally different tyre treads and widths may upset the balance of the car.
What are people's opinions on this?
