Default Gary...mixing two directional tires with two assymetrical?
I just got two non-repairable flats on both of my two rear tires at the same time. I have a pair of Michelin Pilot Primacy's (assymetrical) that I can install along with the two existing Falken FK-452's (directional) that are already on the car. The two sets of tires are within 1/32 of each other and they are all 235/45/17 94Y. Is this a safe setup until I can get four new ones on my car (02 A4 1.8T Quattro)? Thanks!

Mixing tires of any type on a quattro is not a good idea.

it really throws the handling qualities off from being predictable
