Default Tires and more tires.

Hey guys im looking at some tires with some odd sizes
for the fronts. 255/35/18 Bridgestone Potenza's RE050A RFT
reats 245/40/18 Bridgestone Potenza's RE040 RFT

Now Is there any issues using Run Flat tires on a car that didnt come with them.

The 50's are 25.1" tall and the 40's are 25.8" tall.

Thinking its gonna look silly/ugly. not much sidewall the the REO50a's.

Any other feed back comments, issues, ect let me know.

And the reason i ask is i found a killer deal on these almost new tires.
