Default can i just replace the 2 front tires and keep the backs the same??!!! help!!

my tires were discontinued and i need to replace the fronts like yesterday because of how badly they wore out on the outside margins

my rears have about 70% thread remaining

can i just replace the fronts with another brand/make of tire or will that cause all sorts on handling issues??

Default Why not?

Ofcourse you can. But i`m sure when you are buying new tires they tell you you can`t...

My friend did not have any problems (bmw 540) and front tires were Michelin Pilot sport and rears Bridgestone potenza S-03 pole positions

if you think quattro problems, no problems in oil heating in system. Differense is so little in new tires and you`r old ones.

doesn't wearing of outside on front wheels indicate adjustment is off?
