One of the fast guys at autocross here in a 2004 Anniversary edition 911 has different brands of tires on front and rear because he can't get the sizes he wants for both in the same brand. They are in the same class of tire, and he is faaaaast
My front Hankooks V12's are 225/40-18's, so I will be running the same width as the sumi's I am waiting on. Since the sumi's are 17's, they will be 225/45.

I would have just run the Hankooks on the rear, but one of them is at wear bars and I probably would not pass Tech Inspection with them. Glad I had the sumi's
