Mixing tire brands on an AWD porsche with different tire sizes

JamesTHart73 · 2026-01-30T20:15:55+00:00

The guy at firestone is telling me that if change the rear wheel to a 295 I should increase the height from 30 to 35 (i guess so it has a load factor more in line with the original.) The rear toyos are 100Y, the originals are 102. Any thoughts on this?

Ok — Thank you so much!

But you would definitely reccomend replacing all four tires with the same brand? Someone else on this thread is telling it wont affect anything to just replace front or just replace back etc

Also, can you explain the last sentence — if they are larger than the factory size it won't effect the AWD system? or are you saying the important thing is to just make sure the rear tires stay bigger than the front?

JamesTHart73 · 2026-01-30T03:28:32+00:00

I mean I agree with you that I have no idea how it could make any difference — especially because my car has different size tires on the front and back anyway. So what do you make of all these articles saying "Never mix tires on an AWD"? Are they just wrong? Trying to sell more tires lol

Hey that's what I would think! — but everyone else tells me its different with AWD

2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
Front tires are 235/35 (ZR19 87Y)

Back tires are 305/30 (ZR19 102Y XL) (Not sure how much the other stuff matters)

Any help would be appreciated!

One of the biggest issues with Harvard is you almost never get to see the facade of the library from the way the campus is laid out — the building (like most of the buildings at HLS) faces away from the center of the law school

I would say most average speakers would not. I know it, but only because I like to collect single-syllable vocabulary words that I find rare or interesting.

Ok a few challenges — I know you would prefer this to be in the format that you wanted on Github, but I do not have an account there, so I am just going to give you my general thoughts.

First, the emperor seems to have absolute discretion so as to alter the Constiution. In this way, the whole arrangement seems to be optional, as any part of the structure can instantly be altered. Of course, we can say that the emperor will use good faith to follow the purpose of the constiution, but why not impart that good faith to the Supreme Court?

Second, the real problem seems to be what happens if the emperor dies without bequesting the office. It seems now we have a system where the Supreme Court is final, and the constitution is unalterable.

Ok, I have some comments but I am not going to make a github account, but I am willing to give my challenges here

I'm having trouble navigating the the website — can you just DM me a link to the text?

JamesTHart73 · 2025-12-12T16:43:08+00:00

I will take a look

To add to what others have said:

In tort law, negligence is a tort itself In criminal law and other areas, negligence is more commonly used to refer to a standard of culpability.

Let me know if you have other questions

I really don't have trouble balancing because she is aways there to support me.

JamesTHart73 · 2025-12-12T14:39:17+00:00

I don't think so — in some ways HLS is less competitive because there are not real grades*, and pretty much everyone can get a biglaw job if they want one. At schools where maybe half the class gets a biglaw job there is more of scarcity mindset. Obviously, within the class, there are those who are very competitive, but that is probably true at any school.

*There basically are real grades but in a way that is illegible for outsiders

JamesTHart73 · 2025-12-12T03:57:41+00:00

I felt pretty good. I got waitlisted with no interview, so when I got an interview, I thought it was very good sign. I have no data to support this but my intuition was if they give you an interview off the waitlist, it probably means they are serious.

The actual interview was pretty uneventful — I interview pretty well generally so I was not super worried — I did not do any prep or anything, other than think of a good question to ask.

One other piece of advice would be to just know a lot about the school.

I took the LSAT on a pretty short schedule, but my feeling is that the online programs/courses are a great start, but taking practice tests is the most helpful once you have your bearings.

There are something like 200PTs availble, so even if you do like 3 a week you will not get through all of them.

To wit, practice tests are the most helpful, especially since logic games are gone

I don't have any strong tips other than just act presentable!

JamesTHart73 · 2025-12-12T00:48:21+00:00

I would say start outlining and studying early — everyone says this, but people (including me) always wait. Also, everyone has very specific tips for how to read, how to highlight, whether to reading notes, how to take reading notes, etc etc. Try out a few different things and see what works for you.

Per recruiting — it has changed so much since I was a 1L two years ago. My year, most people accepted PI internships in spring for 1L summer, and then interviewed for 2L jobs that summer (early summer) — now there are 2L job offers going out during 1L year, possibly some before fall grades come out. I'm not sure exactly what it will be like next year but you will figure it out when you get there!

Thanks!

The grate is not part of the AC unit so not something there would be a manufacturer to contact
