I need to replace the rear winter tires (fronts still have plenty of tread). Problem is I can't find the same brand as the fronts for the rear now.

Can I use another brand for the rear than what is already on the front? What do you guys think of just replacing rears if the fronts are ok in general?

i guess you will be fine...

just make sure they are the same performance ratings

^+1 Select something you can get the matching fronts too in the future as well.

thanks - so you guys think just changing out rears for winter is ok? It is not for cost reasons but it seems like a waste to change out all 4 when the fronts have plenty left.

you should be fine... i wouldnt waste money if the front tires are still good

You'll be fine, just make sure they're the appropriate size. Do a search for those answers.

thanks - ordered same size and same speed rating. Dunlop M3 winters.

You should be fine. Most Coupe owners have the same issue with the fronts lasting longer. I've been going that route for years.
