replacing NT-01s - 2 at a time?

So the fronts dont have much left in them, the rears have about twice the rubber left.

Would there be any issues if I just replace the fronts with new tires and keep the rears?

would this interfere with ABS, AH or the stability of the car?

You're not going to change the sizing right?? Just going to put new fronts on.

You'll be fine. Unless there is something else to this question..........
Just seems a little funny to me....I had a problem keeping the rears from wearing down...

ha, easy launches, hard corners = kills the fronts.
I am planning to go with identical sizes.

You'll be fine. Do you have NT-01s in the rear? That's a great tire.

yep have them all around. thinking about widening the wheels to fit them better. although not sure how safe it is to widen track wheels.
