What to do from now on? (2 diff pairs of tires)
a few months ago, i got a flat, the nail hit too close to the sidewall that it was not safe to drive after repair
so i cheaped out a bit and got a pair of Fuzion HRi's and put them on the rear
these are rated H
while my front tires are stock Turenza ER30 rated V
the car has been fine ever since
and the rears are like 80~90%
while the turanzas are about 50%
what should i do when the winter comes and light snow falls on the road?
and what are my options when the front turanzas are finished?

same here, currently my GS has a pair of Nexen N3000 ZR summer performance tires on the back (with ~60% tread) and a pair of Kumho Esta H all seasons with ~80% tread front.
Car drives fine now but I just plan on ordering a new set of Kumho ASX ultra-high perf all season tires within the next week just to be safe. Then I will likely just try ebaying the tires in two seperate auctions of a matching pair each to recup a bit of my tire investment back.
Before I was uninformed and didn't know the difference between tires as long as they were the same sizes... obviously matching two pairs of different speed rated and different perf. tires together.
