So I got a nail in the right rear tire. My Z came sports package. I got Bridgestone Potenza REO50A. I know its recommended that you replace in pair but I got the nail at an angle so I cant patch it up or anything, I gotta replace that tire. All 4 tires are in pretty good shape, only meet local commuting 5 miles a day for past year. Car only has 7k miles on it.

SO... The question, as i read the reo50a are summer tires and I was wondering how bad of an idea is it to replace it with bridgestone potenza RE970AS which are all season tires? will this f up my car pretty bad or...? Or should I get the RE760 which are summer tires like the REO50A...

3x REO50 + 1 RE970AS
or
3x REO50 + 1RE760

Getting a 4th REO50 is out of the question.

Thanks
