Hi,
I thought I'd check this out with the car aficionadas on AVF. The front tyres on my car are in need of replacement as they're close to the legal minimum but the rears still have plenty of life left (at least 4mm).
Currently Bridgestones are fitted all round (what the car came with when new) but I'm appalled the fronts have only lasted 25,000 miles of gentle driving so I'd prefer to try another brand rather than getting like-for-like Bridgestones for the fronts. Current thinking is to get Continental Premium Contacts (better fuel economy and stopping distance ratings than the Bridgestones, and I'm told they're harder wearing). The Continetals would be the same size and speed rating as the current Bridgestones.
Is it ok to have different tyres on the fronts and rears?
In case it helps, the car is nothing exotic - a 2.0l diesel Nissan Qashqai.
Thanks
Mark
