What to spend 2k on

You must have 20's?

No, just the standard, polished 19" VE Redline wheels.
20" black SV's on the Maloo.

Dilemma...

Just noticed that the front tyres are not identical. They are both unused..

They are both Bridgestone Potenza 245/40R19. The difference is that one is RFT (run flat type) and the other one is not.

Also load rating on non rtf is 98w and load on rtf version is 94w.

Non rtf was made in 2016 and rtf was made in 2009.

Is this an issue ?

I know that ideally they should be identical but for a daily driver that rarely sees highway should i bother changing rtf one with non rtf variant ?

They must be PS4, as they dont make PS4S in 19 245. PS4S has the same casing as the Pilot Super Sport.
Make sure you get the PS4S on the Maloo.

Correct! They are just plain jane PS4's on the Redline.
I will take your advice on the rear of the Maloo!

2009? Its most likely to be past its prime...

If I were you, I’d change them. I suspect that run-flats have stiffer sidewalls. Try P-zeros.

the question is whether I change RFT one to non RFT RE05A as there is nothing wrong with non RFT one

 

[chrisp]

I’d go with the non-run-flat as it would have been the OEM tyre. It’ll also match the newer tyre.

I wonder if the previous owner was offer a bargain replacement tyre that was old stock and happened to be a run-flat?

 

[Ron Burgundy]

The age of rft tyre worries me..
Made in mid 2009..
8.5 years old

I would chage it and keep the RF for a spare.
