Different Tires Front And Rear

…differences in traction between the two pairs of tires will not lead to a dangerous oversteer situation. In an oversteer situation, the rear tires will begin to slide and can be very difficult to correct. However, if the front tires have significantly less tread depth than the rear tires, the front…

…two different sizes. The tires can be rotated from front to rear to help maintain even treadwear. Next, there is less chance for confusion. I've seen staggered set-ups installed with the back on the front and vice versa; and I've seen customers assume that if they check the size of one tire,…

…use of differently sized tires on front and rear axles, insufficient maintenance and/or driving conditions conspire to prevent it from happening. The first recommendation is to always keep the same level of grip all the way around the car. To do this simply choose the exact same tire as the others…

…the factory with staggered tires — the front tire is a different size than the rear. While this certainly has advantages in some performance areas, it does come with some restrictions. For example, the number of tire options can be very limited. In addition, tire rotations are restricted or…

…fitment (differently sized tires in the front and in the rear). Automotive manufacturers incorporate this design from the beginning to maximize performance. The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550 is one such vehicle, and it features the following tire sizes: 275/30ZR-20 (rear) and 245/35ZR-20 (front). We…

…side of the vehicle, directional tires are to be used on one side of the vehicle and are intended to be rotated from the front axle to the rear axle. If different tire sizes are used on the front vs. rear axle, the tires become location-specific and prohibit tire rotation unless remounted. 22,635…

…speeds. Rotating Tires Because the front and rear tires of all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles perform different duties while accelerating, braking and cornering, tire rotation is important to even out, and maintain equivalent treadwear of all of the vehicle's tires to minimize potential…

…his Potenza RE-11 because he was using multiple brands of tires on his car. This is a great tire in a dry street but horrible in a wet one. It is so horrible that maked me crash in a highway. The tires where on the rear of my car in front I have some Pirelli PZero Rosso that works really great. .…

…was that it wasn't a problem with grip, the winter tire did just fine when it was on a car with all four winter / snow tires. The problem was the difference in how the tire reacted to direction change and lift-off over steer. With all four tires reacting at the same pace (think spring rate or…

…significant differences in tread depth within the pair. If the vehicle has tires of a different type and/or size on the front and rear axles, they should only use the rotation pattern depicted in Figure I, rotating across the axle side-to-side, but not front-to-rear. Studded Winter / Snow Tire…

…Original Equipment (O.E.) tires' capabilities, or help tune the vehicle's qualities to even better suit their needs. Unfortunately wearing out all tires at the same time isn't always possible. Sometimes vehicle design, the use of differently sized tires on front and rear axles, insufficient…

…on the front and 265/35-19 on the rear, it was time to replace the tires on his latest vehicle. Since the rear tires are a different size than the front, this Max Performance Summer tire carries a 6-year/20,000 miles warranty and half mileage for the rear if different size than the front. With 13538…
