Running mixed tyres front and rear?

amberzombie · 03-08-2020, 08:45 PM

My car was purchased with Yokohama Advan Neovas already fitted on.

The rears are still pretty fresh, but the fronts are due for replacement and I was thinking of going for MPS4S in the front first, with a view to changing the rears for the same, probably at the end of this year.

I don't track my car - it's just a daily driver so I don't think it would affect the driving experience would it?

4s front and Cup 2 rear no prob - helps the car if anything. You lose the "balance" but you also lose the tail wagging every corner.

I got a puncture in my front MPSS's so went MPS4S's on the front, MPSS's in the rear... wasn't ideal but far from undriveable. Just meant the car was more prone to oversteer with that combo. Once I went MSPS4S's in the rear (after another 8000 KMs) it evened things up and the car was much more approachable wet or dry.
