Different brands....

Andrewah05 · 06-22-2014, 04:50 PM

So because of hard times ended up getting 2 Michelin super sports for the rear(255) and 2 toyo proxes for the front (225) was wondering if the two . different brands will cause any drive ability issues may be a dumb question but not the greatest with tires, toyos have that arrow thread look whiles super sports are normal thread, current have 2 bridgestone potenzas and 2 conti sports on atm, bridgestone pulls hella to the right but im guessing thats the uneven tire wear checked and alignment was good not sure

Thanks in advance,

Drew

PS. Currently on that 12 hr shift pardon any mistakes

As long as your front and rears are a matching set you should be good.. I run PSS in front and Cheap tires in rear since i go thru so many rears. lol

Sounds good! Thanks

It's never recommended to mix and match tire brands and models. The handling characteristics between the front and rear won't be as predictable.

Agreed. Best to match if at all possible.
