A046 vs A046D difference

Is there a problem running with A046 front and A046D rear?

What are the differences?

Thanks

"greater abrasion resistance and superior wet adhesion compared to the on-the-limit grip of the A046"

I bought in my area two A046 for the front and had to import another two.

I do not know why they send to me two A046D. Anyway I must know if the grip is the same as the A046...

Someone here told me not to mix different grip tires...

What is the tire on the USDM lancer Evolution? A046 or A046D

Which tire does tirerack sells?

I went at tirerack web site and there is only A046 spec and photo, but the salesman told me that he only sells A046D, What is going on?

It is not clear what is the difference between A046 and A046D yet...

I'm searching and searching and any clear information...

It seems that there are differences between A046 USA market and JDM market.

After I changed my A046 to A046D in the front I lost 10hp or 0,4seconds from 2700 to 6800rpm in third gear. WHY? ? ?

Did you use the same tire pressures? Lower tire pressure can cause more drag and can slow your acceleration down.

same tire psi as before.

I'm almost sure that the A046D is heavier than the A046

I'm searching like crazy to find the weight of each tire.

It seems that the A046D is 24.7~25lbs... found it at yokohama.com and tirerack

HELP me to find the A046 weight!!!
