I had my 2017 Mustang GT serviced recently. In the check list they pointed out to me that my rear tires were going to need replaced soon. I barely have 8000 miles on my car. I live in MN and will not put tires on this car that allow me to drive it 4 months of the year. At 50 degrees these summer tires are pretty useless. I intended to replace all four tires with a performance 3 season tire. Now I have a dilemma. The rear tires need replaced but the front ones are fine. In case you are wondering I have NOT abused these tires either. As you all know it is real easy to spin those rear tires.
I talked with my tire shop and he told me mixing those tires is not recommended. At best I should use the same MFG if I am going to have summer tires on the front and 3 season on the rear. But even that is not the best idea since the tires have different capabilities and would not give the same response depending on the conditions I am driving in. Worse case is the temp is below 50, rear tires work fine, front tires don't.
What have you guys done or would recommend?
