Gaz6002 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) It's illegal to run tyres of different construction types on either side of the same axle. Falkens and Goodyears should be fine. 10.5 wheel should take 285+ IIRC. Edited October 1, 2010 by Gaz6002 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 It's illegal to run different tyres on either side of the same axle. You can run different front and rears though. You'll need a pair mate 10.5 wheel should take 285+ IIRC. I can get 1 Goodyear but it is very pricy , I could buy 2 Falken 452 for the price of 1 goodyear Do you know what grip would be like in comparsion to the 2 brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Didn't realise it was illegal to run different tyre brands on either side. I've seen many old bangers run round with a different brand on each single corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F1s are very good though. Have a look for Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta too. I have them now and they're pretty impressive. I think Camskill were doing a special offer on them.

Kilps Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It's illegal to run different tyres on either side of the same axle. I thought it was fine as long as they were the same size? I've bought a part-worn for an MOT before, which was different to the rest and they didn't say anything about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It isn't illegal to have different brands, just different sizes. Having 1 falken and 1 goodyear is absolutely fine. My car came with 4 different boots on and it passed an MOT no bother. Years ago I went in to buy a tyre for my vectra, I settled on the cheapest but the guy couldn't do it as it was a different size from the other side.

Gaz6002 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It appears they have to be the same construction type now. That didn't used to be the case. One Falken should be fine, although I personally wouldn't mix-and-match on a high-powered car. http://www.kwik-fit.com/uk-tyre-law.asp It is also a legal requirement to ensure that tyres of different construction types are not fitted to opposite sides of the same axle. The two main tyre types are radial and cross-ply, and these must not be mixed on the same axle. Mixing brands and patterns of the same construction type is permissible depending on the vehicle type and manufacturers recommendation. Check your vehicle's handbook for tyre fitment details and options or ask Kwik Fit to look this up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still maintain on a high-powered RWD car it's better to have the same tread pattern on both sides, especially on the rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyres always changed in pairs for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
