My owners manual says not to mix tires.

I chose to ignore that and just replaced the rears when I had a flat tire. I definitely would not mix tires on the same axle, but I haven't encountered any problems with the Toyo Proxes on the rear and Yokohomas on the front. The tread patterns are similar so that might help.

I've been using the car as a daily driver with some spirited driving on mountain roads. Before I do any high speed driving such as drivers education on a track, I plan to have matched tires all around.
