Is It Normal for New Cars to Have Different Tire Brands on the Front and Rear?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, all four tires of a new car should be of the same brand unless there was an assembly error at the factory or the tires were replaced later. In such cases, it is recommended to contact the 4S store or manufacturer to confirm the specific reason. Potential impacts of having different tire brands: Different tread patterns can result in varying contact areas with the ground, leading to uneven wear and potential alignment issues over time. Tires from different manufacturers may have significant structural differences, and mixing them can increase the risk of accidents. Different tread patterns and brands can also severely affect braking performance, wear patterns, and high-speed performance. Necessity of rotating front and rear tires: Rotating the front and rear tires helps prevent uneven wear, also known as tire cupping. Causes of uneven wear include suspension design, parameters during wheel alignment, and driving style. Regular tire rotation can extend tire lifespan, and it is recommended to rotate them every 20,000 kilometers. Car tires are one of the most critical components of a vehicle.
