Good Day,
I spent an hour looking and can not find a for sure answer, I am in the market to replace my factory potenzas on my my 2015 GS 350 F Sport. The tires will be the Pirelli P7's( from research here) or possibly the P Zeros...
MY question is can I put two new Pirellis on back and still keep the Potenzas up front for a while. The front tires are still in excellent shape and I dont want to waste money BUT I also dont want to screw up the handling on my car. I drive it easy and its almost always a highway travel car..

and thanks for the input on mixing up brands of tires.

I dont see why not. assuming you're not running a square set up it should be fine. i bought my 2015 GS350 F sport earlier this year used with toyo proxes t1 on the front and kumho ecstas in the rear and its been fine so far with my aggressive driving style.

I recently changed the tires on my 13 GS 350 AWD to the Pirelli P7s, which was recommended by many GS owners, but I had a horrible experience with them. The tires were causing all sorts of road noise to be absorbed and making a grinding noise between 40-50mph... went back to discount tire and switched back to the Michelin’s ... no problems with the Michelin’s.

So I can't find an official tire thread so I will put it here. I put Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on my wife's 15 F Sport RWD and my god they are the most amazing tires I have had on a car in my life. Don't waste your time with anything else they are the top of the line...

My 2015 Fsport came with brand new P-Zero's front and rear. The rear tires lasted approximately 5,000 miles before they wore down - my front tires didn't last much longer. My alignment was always in spec, and I'm not an aggressive driver. I would stray far away from the P-Zeros on this car.

I ran P-Zero's on my Mustang a few years back. Granted it was a mustang, I still did not tear it up or drive any more aggressively than I already do. I don't think the tires lasted more than 20,000 miles. Junk tires. Never bought them again (went to BFGoodrich G-force Pro Comp 2 and LOVED them).

I was hesitant to get the P7's for this reason but after reading their warranty and other reviews online, and comparing against viable competition (really it's just the Michelin PS A/S 3's) the P7's were the better buy. Had them installed, aligned, road hazard all 4 tires, and 3 years worth of free alignments out the door for $1,215. Really happy with them so far, you can tell a huge difference over the Michelin MXM4's that came with the car.

I highly recommend the Kumho Ecsta IIs. I've had several sets on different cars and have found them to be a great compromise between comfort and performance, wet or dry.
