Hi,

It's never recommended to mix/match tires. Especially true on a Performance Car w/ Performance Tires.

That said, you won't automatically collide with the next object you encounter, but I would definitely not take the car anywhere near it's limit with that setup.

If one simply must mix/match tires, at least keep the same tire on either side of the axle. One concern I might have are the different characteristics of the 2 Bridgestones - that they may oppose each other or heat up more, etc. I'd shoot the Tech Dept. at Bridgestone an email just to make sure you're not attempting something truly unsafe. Also, be sure to have a 4-wheel alignment done when you mount the new rubber. Good Luck...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
