another wheel/tire question

[motordavid]

-mixed brands: not a huge deal, imo. You may notice some
wheel imbalance/shimmy, slight handling diff. and probably
different wear, over time. My hunch is the wheel 'puters
will compensate and if you aren't hanging 10 on corners
or autocrossing it, no biggie. Otoh, why does the seller
have 2 brands of tires, F & R?

-if there is decent tread left, who cares what he says
the mileage is? If there is ~12K on them, you may get
another 10ish out of the set; maybe less. No way to
accurately est. tire mileage, imo. Every tire joint will
have a diff. opin. You are looking for good, even wear
across the width, though the rears may show more
wear on the inside tread area due to camber: and that
may be why there is a pair of diff brand on rear.

-No RFTs, no spare...it is a risk, but many of us do it
in other cars. Buy a can or two of non-flammable air
supply or, a can of "Goop", have cell phone, and
roadside service. I've had nearly a dozen tire repairs
in our '01, over 3 diff sets of tires, in 7 years; none
have been "out on the road".
My 50Ct is up...
