i always like to both tyres on an axle at the same time, but as you know, its not always convenient.

In the wet, with your foot down, you might notice a bit more torque steer

Cheers pal  :happy2:

WhiteGTI:
Should I put the two rear tyres on the front - so that the steering wheels are equal in tread.

Then put the tyre with 4-5mm on the back, with the new tyre also, or is this going to cause traction issues at the rear of the car??

JPC:
i really couldnt do much than theorise about the back tyres, and im sure someone will be along soon with probably more accurate info.

i would probably prefer two similar tyres on the front of my car rather than the back. but sods law says, someone will come along and tell me im wrong! hehe.

evvo:
I agree with the above get them checked out.

A word of warning for you all check your inner tyre tread on all your wheels my tracking was out considerably from the factory and i got through my first set of tyres very fast until i had them laser aligned.

I've not had any issue since.

JPC:
oh ive had a set of tyres go in 1800 miles on a car once!! i was so annoyed, i spend a LOT on tyres. no expense spared with tyres and they lasted 1800 miles.

god knows how they got that out of shape!
