Question Need Help...your opinion on mixing tires

Hi,

I need new all season tires on the rear. I presently have stock OEM conti's. The front conti's have plenty of rubber on them...so I only need rear tires.

I was considering either staying with the conti's for the rears...or going with the Goodyear F1's. I have heard so good reviews on this forum about the F1's...and would welcome a quieter tire also.

Has anyone had any experience with conti's on front and goodyear f1's on rears? If so...How does the car handle ( I have a roadster ltd) ?

Is it a bad idea to mix tires...that is front and rear wih different tread designs?

Your comments and suggestions would be appreciates

As long as you uses tires of comparable grip front and rear (i.e., you don't put ultra high performance 100 treadwear on one end and 500 treadwear all-season rocks on the other), you'll be fine.
