As long as you have good quality tires, you'll be OK. The number of chassis
adjustments, alignment settings and pressure changes that could be made that
would cause differences in how the front or back handles can easily outweigh,
mask or cooperate with tire differences.
Joe what tires are better for tracking once a month between MPSC or Toyo 888R ??

I am mostly familiar with stickier, not-lasting-as-long autocross tires.

I need new rear tires soon. The owners manual says not to use different make of tires in the front and in the back. My question is why? Have you done it?

I have Michelin Pilot Sports under my car now and a pair for the rear costs over 1.000 euros here in Finland. Bridgestone Potenza would be half the price.

What is your advice and / or experience on this?

Sorry I canīt answer your PM , I have to few posts
