Here's my question.

2 of the rims are mounted with Neo Jen Nitro tires (235/ 40ZR18 95W)

And the other 2 are mounted with Fuzion ZRI (235/ 40R18 91W)

All 4 tires are brand new. Which of the 2 brands should go to front?

Also there shouldn't be an issue having 2 different brands mounted on the car?

Thanks

since theyre same size I don't think it'll matter which one goes in front
plus, they both will eventually get their turn to be front tires when you rotate them

Looks like the Fuzion are summer only tires, so I'd say put them on the rear, Nitto Gen A/S front.

Have to agree as the summer tires will wear faster.

in terms of handling ... since they are both w-rated tires and i dont push the TL whatsoever... and of course, i have a dedicated set of winter rims/tires... i shouldn't anticipate any wierd/odd handling should i?

If you really like to push your car to the limit you will experience non uniform handling. In short, in comes from different tires providing different g-g diagrams which relate to longitudinal and lateral force limits.

Now, on the other hand, the TL is a long way away from being tire limited. Suspension is not race quality so I doubt you will ever feel a difference, especially because you have no baseline to compare to.

I ran the same setup, different brands on another car and it won't ever matter. I would recommend putting the summers in the back for now though...assuming they are bi-directional and can be done so.

The summer tires should be of a "stickier, soft" compumd and will afford better traction, so if you drive aggressively, don't want the rear end stepping out with the softies on the front.

ok..great feedback guys!

now.. regarding the NITTO tires.. apparently, these are 'engineered' for lowered cars / negative camber.. yet my car is stock height and i'll be slapping them on the front end. so again, lowered or not lowered, the tire will still function as it is rated to do so?

as for wear, i dont mind if the summers wear out so i can replace one set with the same brand from the other set so with that, should I put the summers on the front?
