I saw those over on retrorides.. Was gonna go for em but my mot station had a arsey talk with my dad about mixing tyres on a car with abs last time... failed it till we changed em... I cant go elsewhere either even if thats a load of crap as they charge bugger all and are good with us otherwise..

I would say the motty man is right, IF there's mixed sizes on the same axle, otherwise i can't see anything wrong in having two mixes of same size tyres?? I have two different makes on one axle, Its never been mentioned as an advisory. I also have abs on the motor too.  |

Indeed, if you look about on some cars, you will see some have diff mix of tyres on same axle, is not illegal, even with ABS, on sizes are illegal.. |

Oh, from what i was told any mix in sizes anywhere on the car is illegal.. We had 205s on the rear and 195's up front on my dads old sigma and it failed.... I dont mix on the same axle tho... just wouldnt look right |

as long as the tyres are the same along the axle its fine otherwise ferraris would fail along with just about every performance car there is!!

I dont buy new tyres as i just dont see the point, I allways buy part worns and try to get matching per axle. I just can find any locally.. Ive been to every local yard and also got my dad on the case on his delivery round so he could ask at breakers too.. With no joy at all  THe big local yard (silverlake) said they usually have loads but for some reason theres been a huge demand for em... |

dont think many people are buying new ones, part worns seem to be getting better in quality and numbers these days, the last few tyres iv bought have been Pw, AND THEY BEEN GREAT!  |
