tell me about run flat tires. Can you stick a pair of radials on the back then convert the front later? Or do I just need to stick with run-flats and switch all 4 out at the same time to radials at a later date? Thanks guys

If the ones on the front are "almost" new then I would buy 2 new tires for the back that match. I've never liked running different treads on a car, but that's just me.

Yeah, the ones on the front are about 5 months old run flats

You're fine running different treads on front and back. Replace the back two and rotate frequently.

No, that's an issue too. Kind of wondering I shouldn't buy one and just go radials.

I say run them til they go flat. We need a real life experience review on those things.

It is OK to run different tire/treads as long as it is not a high performance car like a Corvette or something. Those run flats are expensive tires. You probably need to find a spare tire, rim, jack and lug nut wrench especially if you are going to be driving it on the highway out of town.

if you keep the run flats put both on the back, new radials on steer tires.

best to replace all 4 with more run flats and keep the 2 as spares since you don't have one.
