Is it okay to have different set in front and back

free_man

Hi,
I have a 2009 opel insignia with four 'Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta' 245/45 R18 since Jan2014.

It has done 23000 km and now the rear tyres (both) need replacement. The front have loads of thread left.

I am opting for 'Nokian zLine' for the rear as Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta are no longer available for cheap on normal online sites like oponeo, camskill and eiretyres.

Each Nokian zLine will set me back by 143euros and I wish to save a bit.

Hence the query that if the front and back are different makes, will it be okay. I drive a bit rough and happy that the tyres lasted that long.

Yeah, as long as they're the same in each axle.

Should be fine once they are going on the same axle.

BTW The Ultrac Sessanta have been replaced by the Ultrac Vorti:
