Fitting W and Y Tyre ratings to the same vechile
« on: August 25, 2015, 03:37:38 pm »
Hi all as per the title, my car currently has Y rating tyres all round but considering purchasing a set of new W rating tyres for the front, would this pose a problem or is it a safe to fit different rated tyres. Naturally i dont intend to go over the speed ratings for each respective tyres
Thanks Rob1
