one run-flat tire on my z a problem??

it seems to be strongly advised to not mix rft with nrft, almost to the point where it seems even a worse idea than mixing completely different brand tires? is that true?

performance wise possibly. safety wise no. its safer to have the matching pattern on the same axle so the difference in the tread pattern in nasty weather conditions dont fight each other. each tread is made to push water out in a certain way. 2 different tires can counteract each other making your rear end squirrely.

wow i cant believe how many rft versions of our oem tires are for sale on ebay, more than the regular! i guess they are oem for bimmers. the weird thing about it is i dont know of any bmw that uses a 275/35/19 oem?
