Mixing Tyre Sizes

Recommended Posts

Grim.Badger

Is there any major problem with having one 185/55 and one 195/50 tyre up front?

 

I know ideally I should replace tyres in pairs but I'm trying to save money for something else and only need one new tyre.

 

I have an Avon CR338 in 185/55 and want a Goodyear F1 195/50 to pair with it, Goodyear F1s in 185/55 are about £70 as opposed to £36 ;)

Buy two F1s.

 

It isn't a good idea to mix brands on a single axle let alone sizes...

It's also an mot failure to have different tyre sizes on the same axle isn't it?

I never had a problem with bugdet 185 55 15s at 26£ a throw... and yes... axle pairs must be same size tyre.

F**k I thought as much but wasn't sure.

 

And no it's not a joke, I don't have the money to throw away on a tire I might not need :)
