I tried to replace only my rear tyres for ps4, where the fronts were still the OE-spec run flats...I was told that I had to replace the rears with run flats, or replace all 4 for non-rft, otherwise the car would be dangerous to drive.
Of course, I walked away from that garage....and the next one who said the same, until I found one who warned me of it but did the work anyhow (the others refused). I ran it like that for over a year, until the fronts needed to be changed, and still can't figure out how it could have been dangerous to have a mixed set...sure it wasn't ideal for handling, but having worse tyres on the rear would hardly have helped!
The first garage even told me it would null my insurance, so I phoned them and they told me it was fine...they basically didn't care!
