Running runflats in the back and regular tires in the front. Any Issues?

Have 2 new Goodyear run flats on front of my 2011 550ix M sport and one of them just got a bubble in the side wall. Im going to replace the 2 front tires with Bridgestone Pole Position S4 tires and leave the 2 brand new run flats I have on the back.

See any issues with this?

The tires on the back have 200miles on them and I dont want to chance this issue again by putting a new tire on the front and staying with RFs. Sucks my front tire is like brand new also this is BS!

I was going to do the same until I decided to buy new wheels and tires.

I have Michelin run flats on the rear of my 2012 535i. On front, I have regular Continental Extreme Contacts.

There are no issues and the car tracks perfectly straight down the road.

I have mixed flats and non RFT tires many times with no issues. I hate run flats but use them if they come with the car.

Mixing Run-Flats and standard tyres is fine. Just a slight difference in comfort. Always try to keep. The front and rear matching as a minimum
