Is it acceptable to have different tires on the front and rear axles?
1 Answers
In theory, there should be no issue with having different tires on the front and rear axles as long as their size and performance characteristics are compatible. However, tires from different brands may exhibit slight variations even when all specifications appear identical. Therefore, it's generally recommended to use tires from the same brand when replacing them. Below are some key points about automotive tires: 1. Replacement cycle: Tires should typically be replaced within 3 years or before reaching 60,000 kilometers. 2. Replacement criteria: As tire rubber ages, deep cracks may appear on the sidewalls. However, tires can remain in service as long as the sidewalls haven't suffered impact damage and the internal cords remain intact.
