To All the Great People on this Forum,
Please help a damsel in distress!  I tried to order some tires today from 
Tirerack, but was told that the following tires would not function properly 
together.  From past postings on our forum, I tried to order:  Front(on 
8"/15" rims)--BFG 245/50/15 ZR Comp T/A(to reduce understeer)
           Rear(on 10"/15 rims)---BFG 305/50/15 HR Euro T/A(no ZR)
I was told that the front ZR rated tires have a much stiffer side wall than 
the rear HR tires and will throw the car out of balance, and make it feel 
like it is "wagging".  It was suggested that both tires be the same HR Euro 
T/A type in the size I requested.  I thought that I would go with the higher 
rated ZR tires on the front since they are available, and also reduce 
understeer even more.  Please tell me what is true, and what size and type I 
should order.  Thanks--S.E
