I have different tires on the front from the back and I drive it hard. Bought it like that last year.
I have no problems so far. I have driven 9000+ miles in past year and my tires still look almost new. Lots of tread left in them.

In my other experiences, most cars at the dealerships I work at have different front tires from back tires because FWD front tires get used up faster and with RWD, rear tires get used up faster.

Many people ignore rotating tires on their cars. And then you have mismatched tires from front to rear.

You have 265/40 tires on the front? I'm suprised they fit, or is that a typo?
