The old "put tires of different brand"..
I have done some looking around and of course all tyre manufacturers recommend putting the same brand/type tyres on the car.
Thing is that the rears wear out so much faster, even though I don't track the car, and I have to say the Continentals feel slippery.. So I was planning on maybe putting some Michelin Pilot Sport S4 on the rears because I had them on my 335 and they felt really good.. So has anyone tried having different brands/types on the rears? Does it "really" matter? |

I think as long as the fronts are paired and the tears are paired, it's fine. I wouldn't mix left/right, but front/back should be fine.

The problem with mixing tires is they front and rears will handle differently in the rain.
We get a fair amount of rain, so I wouldn’t do it where I live. |

I’ve seen people drive with different rims front and back. I’m sure you’ll be fine with tires.
