I have some 99 Honda Civic sedan. I have some rims that have two sets of completely different tires. The first set has Dunlop W-10's and the second has Kumho Supras. My question is would I still be able to rotate them as long as I dont mix them up? Also which would be better on the front? I won't ever drag or anything like that, but I do want the better tire on the front. I would go with the Kumho's since they do have a better tread design. I just want to know your opinions.

Thanks

If you don't care much about traction and want your tires to last I would put the harder rubber tires up front.

It's not the best situation in the world, but it isn't hurting anything...as long as you keep the two Dunlops together and the two Kumhos together...

The newest tires should probably be placed up front, the tires with the most wear should go to the rear.

yeah, you'll be fine...just dont push the car real hard around turns...especially in wet situations because with different tires they have different traction breaking points and you wont know which will go first and whatnot making things into a hairy situation.

Word, be careful because they will also give different signs as to when they are about to break away.

And like everyone else said, just keep the kumhos/Dunlops together on either the front or rear.
