From my previous threads, I have two tires that are equal, one that is new, and one that is worn.

RR 3 3 0 /32
LR 11 11 11 /32
RF 6 6 6 /32
LF 6 6 6 /32

I am currently running Republic Ensign Tires (s rated) http://justtires.com/justtires/displ...4&sidewall=SBL

I plan on purchasing 2 Falken Ziex 512 (h rated) from sears for 46 a tire.

I've read alot about not to run 2 different sets of tires. But since im on a budget, how bad would it be if i ran 512 and ensign together?

Also, should i put the 512's on the front or rear? Tire rack recommends rear so i don't hydroplan and oversteer but forum members say front since it wears out faster.

 

Put the 2 new tires in the front since the fronts do most of the work. Then put the 2 old ones with the best tread left on the rear.

 

Well i plan on using the two equal tires, throwing out the worn and keeping the new one incase of emergency.

Also, is it ok to mix s-rated and h-rated tires?

 

Just got some extra $ so i think i am going to buy all 4 sets of tires.

I've also been looking at Kumho Solus 716 HP4 (40k Warranty) (they sales clerk told me they replaced the Ecsta 716 HP4). I noticed that the Falken 512 (50k Warranty) are uni-directional tires. Will it wear out faster than Kumho's?

 

A uni-directional tread wouldn't necessarily wear faster than a directional tread, it's basically all in your driving habits. Directional treads are only able to be rotated front to back, unlike a non-directional tread where you can put them wherever on the car. Good job on buying all four tires.
