My new to me 97 Targa came with new P-Zero's on the rear. The front P-Zero's look new (no cracking, etc), have great tread, but were put on the car in Sept. of 2000 - only 3K miles since then. Run them or change them???

I became a born-again tire believer this year.
My 993 was handling really funky....front would lift left on throttle, dive right off throttle, among other strange things.
Rears were pretty worn but the fronts had lots of good tread left.
Replaced all four tires (4 years old)....fixed everything.
I will, from now on, replace tires every four years regardless of tread remaining.
My bride's MINI will get new on all corners next year.
(We drive year round on Nokian Haks).

OK - new front tires it is. My assumption is my best bet is to to match the P-Zero's just put on the back. Recommenced source?
