jus got some new tires..had to to pass inspection i got two yokahomas in the back..and the two no name brand in the front with differetn tread patterns...will this matter in ne way...it seems ok?

[Wren57]

I think as long as the two rears match and the two fronts match you can pass, but you cant have different brands per side ie: goodyear front left michelin front right...

[MAXed Out]

yeah i think u should be able to pass. I don't it matters they might not even chaeck it.

[97CivicBoy]

nah i passed but i'm sayin...will it be like bad for my tread...will it wear them down

[ebpda9]

as long as they have the same thread per axle it will be fine.

It wouldnt matter if they are on the same axle like hondaman-iac said. I would put the Yokohama's on the front tho.........

You're still best off having all 4 of the same tires. By mixing tires you're just making it so the traction of the front and back is different, so the handling of the car can be a little less predictable.

But for the most part it's not that big a deal as long as you keep the 2 tires on any given axle the same, as mentioned above.

Edit: Clarification on the traction thing. The handling isn't less predictable if you get familiar with it and know how it'll react. And I certainly wouldn't worry about it much unless you put some really crappy handling tires on 1 and some good ones on the other.....

If you actually had 22's, there aren't many poor-gripping tires sold for 22's. :)

But it can change things up when different tires grip in different ways and the sidewalls roll in different ways, etc. That's a litle more of a concern with 65-series tires where there's plenty of crappy tires *cough* MXV4 *cough*.
