Default re050s on front, same or S02's on back?

Hi,

my tyre dealer swears blind he has rear s02s left.

he's tried to get me s02s for front, but says he can only get the porsche ones, but says they will be the same.

anyways, not going for the porsche tyres, going for reo50s on the front instead, just wondering what the vote would be for the backs? - take him up on his last 2 s02s, or stick to the same reo50s all round?

need to order soon, so any suggestions would be appreciated, cheers.

If you're buying four new tyres you'd be foolish not to buy four matching ones.

They can be mixed as several of up have had to do this due to the S02's being discontinued, but as dave said if you getting a full set go for the 050's .
