I've heard people say that handling problems can result from having different types of tires on the rear compared to the front. Maybe run flats and non run flats don't play well together? Or maybe just an old wive's tale....

You are correct as I can really feel the back "float' more with the BFGs vs the original Goodyears. The only excuss I have is I try to drive straight as fast as possible (thus the DRs) and when the turn comes "slow way down". Car has never been in the rain so no worries there with the BFGs. :)

Absoultly. Great tires. Deb says she has gained over 10mph on the ramp, better ride and quieter than the... GY runflats.
