    Help, Run Flat Question

    Mix & Match Tires?

    I bought the car, '99 A4 coupe with Runflat Michelins on the front and Runflat Firestones on the back. There were no handling issues at all with the mix. As the Firestones were up for replacement after finding a nail in the tread and the tire shop cracking the sidewall disnounting it I put a set...
