Does it really matter if the front two tires are different from the back two?

As long as they're both radial or non radial, brand doesn't matter.

mike08

ok cause i need to replace the front two and i was just thinking of going sumitomo htr+ in the front and i already have nitto nt555's out back.

Nothing wrong with it.

However the dealer won't like it. They will take about $500 off their offer on a trade saying they won't sell it with mismatched tires, but they won't even bother matching the tires anyway.

no biggie, i have Dunlops out back and some crap-*** Nankangs up front

I got a good deal on Cooper.

mike08

ok cool. apparently the front left tire has been rubbing and is down to the cords(spelling?) so it needs to be replaced as soon as possible.

You may want to make sure the tire ware is even... and not just on one side. If you have an alignment problem, you'll chew through those new tires in a few months.

mike08

i just got the alignment done a couple weeks ago so no worries anymore. everything should be good now i hope.

What was it rubbing on...


you should get it re-aligned once u put the new rubber on it...
