My car(Minicooper) is still under warranty and i need to know if the agent here is trying to cut corners!
One of my rear tires (runflat) is damaged,its a Goodyear but the agent wants to replace it with a Pirelli due to availability (Goodyear out of stock)
The problem is he offered to change the 2 rear tires and have them both Pirelli but the two foward will remain Goodyear! Is that perfectly OK ? I wouldnt really mind if my car was an old second hand model but its new! (3months old)

I'd flip the order though putting the Pirellis in the front. They roll easier and you want the slower tires in the rear.
