Fred: > > You can't have different tyres on the front and on the back!!!! > Says who? As long as you have the same tires on each axle you should be > fine.

We have recently had a few bad >accidents with Japanese imports that had these on the back and they >have oversteered into accidents and death! >The owners over here were unaware of the problem. That on the opposite is allowed! But not adviseable ;) Robanzello: >I wouldn't try to mismatch front and back with radically different >tires, but these seem close enough. The thing is... it is not allowed in germany. Robanzello: >These are Michelin "Energy" and are actually on the loud >side. I guess you mean they are soggy as far as feel. I can see that, >but they are pretty new, and drive well. If I replace the Rapidexes >with something good and put them on the front/Michelins rear, would >that be a bad idea? Soggy tires on the back might create handling >problems. Energy is the even softer version of the different Michelin types. You'll recognize them screeming easily when it's hot outside (>25=B0C).
