Hi All,

I went to get my car inspected and it turns out that the tread is quite low in the back but not in the front. I replaced the front tires a couple of years ago. I am currently running Goodyear Eagle F1 265/40 in front and 265/35 in back. I dont feel like replacing all 4 tires so I was wondering if there were pros or cons to getting a different tire for the back than the front. I only track the car once or twice a year and am finding myself looking for a tire that is a bit more on the quiet side. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Greg
