So I am planning on swapping back onto my mpss tires. Here's the issue(s). As of right now, one of the tires is punctured so I am planning on running mpss tires in the front and purchasing a new set of potenza re71r for the rears.

I have a few questions/concerns.

1. The mpss tires that I will be running in the front have uneven tread. It's not too serious but I was wondering if it would be best to flip the tires on the rim?

2. My front's are mpss 245/35/r18 and I was planning on getting re71r 265/35/r18 for the rears. Would this setup be optimal or should I get the same spec tires?

3. I am currently running xxr527 18x8.75 all around. Would the re71r's im looking to put on fit?

4. Based on tire specs I was assuming the mpss would be best up front and the potenza's in the rear. Any advice on this?

Sorry I know I'm literally asking to be spoon fed but I've been extremely busy with personal issues and haven't had much time to do my due diligence.
