I have a 12 year old L5740 running the original R4's. I just got a flat on a front tire while plowing snow, and the tire came off the rim while I was moving up to a spot where I could park without blocking my own access. This tire has 2 patches already and I'm guessing one failed. I am going to replace this tire, and will do the other front now as well so they match. Ever since thie R14's came out I thought they looked like a good option for me. Any reason other than the higher cost not to change over the fronts while leaving the R4's on the rear? The diameter of a new R14 is only about 0.1" larger than a typical R4 in 10x16.5, I think. Is anyone running R14 Front and R4 rear? If so how do you like it?
