Tire question

Hey, I have a 2003 Accord I4, it came stock with Michelin EnergyMXV4 tires (Traction A, Temperature A). Well, unfortunately I poped the front passenger side tire and was forced to buy a new tire.

Now I have a Michelin Symmetry tire (Traction A, Temperature B). Do you think it's a good idea to put the Michelin Symmetry tire on? Even though the threads are different and temperature thingy is different. Any recommendations?

Any time you put a different tire then the rest of your tire you are going to get some wierd handling as well as Not so normal tread wear. It has to do with how the other tires push the car around Vs what the new tire wants to do. I would at least have simalar tires on the front 2 tires/ or the Rear 2 tires. but not Left to right. or just one. If you dont push your car at all It may not matter.

Put the tires that are on the back on the front, and the two mismatched tread patterns on the back. Then you should be okay.
