You should have heeded the first post which warned you about mixing tire make, model and size. I personally experienced what happens when you have different model tires (same make and size) on the front and back. The rear end of my Saab passed me on a turn. If you must persist on having two different tires, put the new tires on the BACK. The reason for this is that most people can handle a FRONT end slide better than a REAR end slide. Besides, you will wear out the old tires faster on the front wheels, and thus replace them with matching tires sooner. DCatron111 wrote: > Well, I made a decision..... > I put the same size on.
