CJ Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 The car had its MOT today and passed after needing one new tyre due to a bulge in the old one. I needed it doen quickly and bought a Dunlop SP Sport 9090. The other existing tyre is a Pirelli. My question is, will there be a problem running different tyres on the rear?

tbourner Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Thought it was a big no-no TBH. Especially if one's new and the other isn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Yes. Yes what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Yes there will be a problem as they're gonna be offering totally different levels of grip. You cant mix and match rears especially with the sort of power your car has. Expect to be in a hedge or facing the wrong direction.. like mr tbourner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 TBH, I thought as much. Ah well, I guess I will use them for the next week as i am running the car in and not giving it any welly at all. I can then use them for the RR session whilst it is mapped and then change to a new set of F1's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Or just buy one more 9090 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Or just buy one more 9090 I was thinking of that Jake but had really wanted the F1's if possible as I found them to be excellent the last time I used them. In saying that, I could go with another Dunlop as my mileage means they dont last a very long time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 What sizes are you running Colin? I did a quote for fronts at 35x245x18 and the F1's came out more expensive than the P0's! I couldnt understand that as when I first got the GSD3's they were so cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
