At that pricepoint you could change all 4 and not feel like you were wasting money.

I've run Dunlops and 2 sets of the dreaded Pirellis.

I would recommend you not mix tire brands, and further don't mix well used tires with new, it's already bad enough that F & Rs are different widths, weights and diameters, it's amazing we're all still alive.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi,
the car has pirelli p zero tires in front, they need to be changed
had stock wheels and running 7mm spacers in front, h&r springs to come
tire size 225 40 18
- should i stay with the same brand or upgrade to a different brand?
i got p zero in rear also, 295
- can i put a wider tire? like 235 or 245? would it be a good improvment?
- will it rub?
yes, Upgrade to Sumitomos. You will find them very quiet and well behaved. I've recently mounted my second set of the lls, cheaper and longer wearing than the llls. I've run Dunlops and 2 sets of the dreaded Pirellis. You will love the Sumis, great handling on the dry, and wet too. The new owner is happy with them as well.
My answer is a blending of the first two replies. I've got Sumis on the rear(great tires, great price), but I have Dunlaps on the front, ie. mixed tire brands. I've noticed no handling downside, but maybe I would if I tracked my Porsche.At some point, I'll have all Sumis on each corner, but I'm not in any hurry.
No matter how one normally drives on an everyday basis, our tires can be called upon in certain situations to perform with a high degree of performance (e.g., emergency braking or swerving to avoid a pedestrian or animal, etc.). In those cases, I want matching tires on all four wheels. And if they're ultra high performance, N-spec tires, so much the better.
Even if all I did was putter around town, I'd still want first class brakes and, just as importantly, first class, matching tires. The tires have as much to do with brake performance as do the brakes themselves.
This view is especially applicable to more rigorous driving styles as well, including autocross and DEs.
Most everything I've read about tires supports No HTwo O's comment above.
I have Sumi III's......235/40/18 and 295/30/18. Stock size for me is 225/40 and 265/35 (?).
No rubbing at all. I figure the bigger contact patch the better for me.
Would also stick with the same make of tire all the way around.
I would recommend you not mix tire brands, and further don't mix well used tires with new, it's already bad enough that F & Rs are different widths, weights and diameters, it's amazing we're all still alive.
Anyway, I'd also recommend to always wear your seat belt, drive with both hands on the wheel, and never exceed posted speed limits.
Now that I'm covered, make your own decision based on your own comfort level, how in touch you are with your cars handling, etc.
Often, wider tires on the same rim size gets you nothing but a distorted tire with the same contact patch as before.

wow, might be a good thing to change for summi 3 tires, 706$ including shipping from tirerack...
dont know if i can get a better deal somewhere else..
my rear p zero are still good, maybe i can get a few $$$ for them,
so i could go 235/40/18 and 295/30/18
