im about to get 4 new tires for my car and i wanted to get the azenis all the way around, but then i thought about it.... would it be bad for tracktion around turns if i had the azenis on the front and some cheap khumos on the back??

Please Please Please do not do this. You are asking to kill yourself if you do. What will happen is your car will over-steer like crazy. Meaning you will fishtail uncontrolably. Your front will grip around a corner but your rear will keep going straight.

Ever done ebrake slides in the winter in a parking lot? Expect the same thing all the time.

The only time you see different tires are at the drag strip where steering is not a consideration. You may also see it on high performance rear wheel drive vehicles in which case the rear and the front tires are the same model but the rear ones are slightly wider.

If you can't afford 4 azenis just get 4 goodear GS-D3 which are actually cheaper/mile but almost as good in the dry. If you can't get 4 of those just get some good bang-for-your-buck tires. Either or just make sure you get 4 identical ones. This goes for the winter too for all you people who think it is okay just to get 2 winter tires.

Cheers.

 

 

ok yeah i understand that. cause i did that last summer but still had somewhat good tires on the back and yeah it did fishtail a bit, never realized why that was happening. thanks for the great answer man, imma defently get all 4 tires the same....

just out of curiousity how long to azenis last milage wise?

I think it's around 10K mi. Not to sure though. Definately on the short end though.

 

Yeah, most ITR owners find that they last 9-12K miles, although there are a few who get more than that and a few who get less. YMMV!!!

 

dont listen to people bitching. u have to be going pretty fast for the oversteer to happen and it can be fun. plus dont lift off the throttle too hard. i have firestone firehawks on the Front-left and Rear-Right and kumho ecstas on the Front-right and rear-left and im still alive. having them in pairs with identical tires per axle is not as bad.

I hope all this 'fun' drifting you are doing is on a closed road.

OP: Don't listen to this individual.
