Okay, here's the story--mashed my rim and tire on a curb, and had to have both replaced. The dealer couldn't track down a Dunlop SP5000, which is what all 4 tires were, so he put a Dunlop SP9000 on the new rim and tire. It's on the front right wheel.

The question is--is it a problem to have two different tires on the front when they are the same make and size, but different model?

The SP5000s have about 14k on them.

Thanks for the help,
Daniel

 

I would go back and have the other side replaced as well. You can screw up your diff's by having a different rotaitional mass and size at one corner.

At least if you also replace the left front tire as well you'll have an equal rotating mass.
