Thanks for the info. Please excuse my lack of understanding with these issues. Some replies I've gotten say to never mix tires, which leads to my next question. We all know the rears wear out faster than the fronts. If you don't replace the fronts the same time as the rears, even if I replace the rears with the same tire type, since they would have 100% tread and the fronts would have (say, 75%), wouldn't this be (in theory) the same as mixing tires?

Again, thanks in advance for recommendations and advice.
