tire/tracking question RE-01

i have RE-01s and they are amazing on dry and wet.
one rear need a plug. no issues with plug thus far
tires have about 50% tread and was thinking of getting new set soon
i have one more track day and have a set of bf goodrich g-force tires and was thinking of putting them on rear, instead of buying new set of 4 since tires are still good.

will the rear break loose too easy with this type of set up?

I wouldn't suggest mixing tires front to rear due to different braking, handling and grip characteristics between the Bridgestone and Goodrich tires.

I agree... especially during track conditions. You might want to look into the RE11's as a replacement.
