Default RFT Tires Front, NON-RFT Rears

Hello,

I currently have Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT as fronts 225/40/18 and Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position (non-RFT) as rears 255/40/18.

Is this dangerous in anyway?

Thank you

not really... rule of thumb is that the rears are a higher performance rating and wider or the same as the fronts... run flat vs non run flat should not make a difference when we talk about performance that way...
