well if those differing tire tractions can be mixed is a question that needs to be ressolved. Tire Rack would know. You also want to make sure that either of those tires are still available and can be replaced. You don't want to find out that the tire has been discountinued and you're having to buy two or four new tires. I don't know but I've never heard of mixing different tires as being a very common practice.

Also, I'd do some research on those wheels. THose might be discontinued as well. If you crack one and its not fixable there goes your bargain because you'll be buying four new wheels and possible tires again. Also, a completely forged wheel for $900 sounds too good to be true. Decent forged wheels run about $900 a piece. Maybe a wheel mex where the outer/flange is forged and the rest of the wheel is just cast to reduce cost my sound more plausible. Is this seller otherwise too lazy to simply post an ad?
If these wheels are clean with no damage and really are 100% forged he should be asking a lot more.
