Good luck, indeed. Mixing different types of tires can be iffy. Since
their compounds respond to temperature in different ways, handling can alter
radically within the run. I recall one of our members had a compound
mismatch on this car and the car started each run with major understeer and
ended with major oversteer. None for me, thanks.
