Tire change problem!

those tires have a soft sidewall...there going to feel a bit more loose and squirly.

If this is the case, I'd rather have the potenzas.

I find that the Hankooks are only "squirely" when cold. Once they warm up they are fine. I think you will find that they will be fine once you get matching tires up front.

The Ventus does have slightly less traction than the Potenza so putting them just on the rear would give you that. Best to replace as a whole set when going to something in a different tire class. Of course as already stated the problem is going to be amplified by the mold release reside that takes a couple hundred miles to scrub off completely. On the plus side they will last twice as long.

Yep. The car will feel much better once you have a matched set and have broken the tires in.

^ Agreed. I replaced all my OEM tires at once and went to the V12s….didn't feel any control or bad handling issues at all.
