Message	I recently bought a 1994 300ZX NA. Thanks to the previous owner the rear tires are bald. My brother has a couple of extra tires off of his Z that he will let me use until I buy new tires and rims. I took them to the mechanic to have them switched out and they refused saying they were different diameter sizes and would cause me problems with my speedometer, ABS, etc. and could ruin my car. I would like your opinion since you guys know these cars better than most mechanics. Current four tires are Centara Vanti HP 225//50 R16 96W XL. I would replace the rear tires with Kumho Ecsta 4X 225/55 ZR16 95W. I know mixing brands is not recommended; not sure how bad that is. Thoughts on getting through till next year. Thanks in advance.
