Have 2 different types of tires on a car?? right now i have sport tires on my car and the front ones are completely bald and back ones are new... The back ones are zeon sports... idk if they are a good tire or not... are they??

and my dad is taking my car to the shop today for new tires and hes putting all seasons on the front and leaving the sports on back...

what will happen if i have all seasons on front and sports in back?

a tire is a tire...

the only worry would be that the driving characteristics will be changed. you may have more grip in the rear on dry days and vice versa in inclement weather.

i currently have all season in the front and ultra high performance summer tires in the rear, no biggie :dunno

Traction will be inconsistent. I have heard, and I don't remember where nor do I know if it is accurate, that speed ratings have to be the same on all tires. Otherwise there is no harm in it I can think of.

For everyday driving, you'll be fine.
