since it's become painfully evident that it's going to be extremely hard to find 1 stock dunlop for sale, I was curious to know what affect (if any) putting 1 or 2 potenzas on the car with the dunlops?

Would this have any particularlly dangerous detremental effects on the car, such as poor handling/braking, excessive wear/strain on suspension, faster than usual tire wear, etc?

Any assistance that you guys can give will be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance...

 

I suppose you could mix two different summer ultra high-performance tires on the same axle, but I sure wouldn't recommend it. The stock Dunlop shouldn't be too hard to find, I bought a pair from Tire Rack a year + 1/2 ago, and certainly could have bought just one. They will ship to a "partner" tire service shop almost anywhere in the country.

In any case, don't buy Potenza RE040 for a replacement. There are far better tires for lower cost.

I am now running a full set of Kumho ECSTA SPT (245/40 x 18) and I'm very happy with them. Cost about $660 for the set, shipped to Mississippi and mounted locally.

 

hmm... good point... Thanks for your feedback.

Anyone else have any input?

 

different front and rear is ok.... but different left and right might be a problem....
