Its not just the traction difference at the limit: you have tires of different compounds in a high performance vehicle. Nissan designed the stock tire setup for a reason, including incorporating staggered sizing with the stock camber/caster/toe setup.

Driving strait and < 70% you won't notice the difference...push the car and you will (and have) notice as others have pointed out.

Never do this on any car: its just a bad idea. Use tires of the same compound on all 4 corners at all times.
