tires are tires you can have 4 different brands and it wouldnt make any difference, but you have to keep the sizes the some front and back. that means for the front you can have a smaller tire than the back, but you cant have a different size tire on the left side as you would on the right (only if your cicle track racing)
so to answer your question, yes, you can have goodyears on the back and some other brand on the front. some good tires that would go with the goodyears and are cheap, well you could go with khumos, those are decent tires, and ive heard nothing but good reviews from the new Fuzion tires..

it depends, if the car is used more for drag racing and on the street and stuff then get the 225's, but if your going to be carving corners and road racing and stuff get the 235's.
