Rear tire destroyed itself on the highway, have some replacement questions





running on the spare now, i idiotically got coil overs and didnt get a camber kit or anything, now my stock bridgestones totally ate **** in the back (yea i know..my first time with such an extreme drop or modding a car in general)

im searching for two rear replacement tires, but before i order any i had a couple of questions

1. If I have the original Bridgestones in the front and another brand in the rear, will that cause any problems?
2. Can anyone recommend me some decent tires for about 200-250 each? I only need the rears, but am currently on a budget. If anyone has hook ups or anything in SoCal, please let me know!

Any input would really be appreciated, I want to get this car back into shape

If your replacing both rears then you should be alright. Those are some crazy pictures... I hope theres no damage to the stock rim. Goodluck on getting the repairs done.

Those are run-flat tires, dont get them.

You can get a good set of toyo T1r's for like 850$, I'm guessing your fronts will be bald soon too.
