I'm running a 7 inch wheel in the front and an 8 in the rear and i'd like to try to have the same looking stretch on both tires. I'm going to be pickin up some k-sports here in the next few weeks and i need tires as well. I was thinking of using a 195/45/15 up front and a 195/50/15 out back. Question is... Is it ok to run seperate brands of tires? Will there be issues with one brand wearing down more than the other? Any help is appreciated as always! Thanks everyone!

I personally would run matching brands and same type of tire and by the specs of tires you want front and rear your rear tires will have more sidewall than your front. I've got 195s on 7 inch wheels and it's not much of a stretch like almost barely noticeable. You'll notice it more with the 8 inch wheel though
