I'm hoping it won't cause stability issues when combined with the OE front as I'd like to get more tyre life out of it - cash seems to be flowing in the outwards direction only at the moment - anyone had any issues with this combo?

Wow 2800 miles-not very long lasting-what OE tyre is it?
I got 7600 miles out of my Z using the OE Tourance.
Your Distanzia price is not cheap so if not too late check out National tyres website and you can get a Distanzia fitted for about �70.00-80.00 to a loose wheel.
Check you rubber cush drives as if you only got 2800 miles it maybe also due to the power transmitted through the wheel you have worn these. They will be visible once you remove wheel and the chances are will fall out when you remove wheel as the rear sprocket will almost fallout from the hub and expose the rubbers. Check them over for wear and they should be attached in four pairs but mine weren't but i had done nearly 3 times your mileage. you should get these replaced under warranty as I did if not about �25 for the set.
I run a Avon gripster on the rear and the original OE Tourance on front which is up for replacement anytime soon. But up to now its been no problem running the two makes together.
