NO NO NO!!!
You will fcuk up your handling BIG-TIME!
What on earth were you doing buying Part worn tyres? You don't know their age or history. If one of them has been run on flat or low pressure even for a short distance you run the risk of blowing the sidewall. If the date on the DOT code says it is five or more years old then the tyre is perished and no good.
Go to a tyre depot, get some NEW ones they won't cost you THAT much if you shop around.
When it comes to tyres, Always buy the best you can afford and DON'T try to do things via the scrappy. You'll end up in a ditch if you do. |

No, it is not safe. You should not mismatch tires types and sizes. In other words, the front axle should have the same type and the back axle should have the same type. |

No it is not safe. You want the same type tire, model, tread on the same axle. Anything else can cause erratic handling and possible loss of control/ |

Tread difference is NOT important..what is important is that you dont ever mix different condition tyres on the same axle.
Imagine if you had a formula one car on the track with mixed tyres there would be carnage.
They will have an impact on all round handling especially braking. Go to a recognised tyre agent not a cowboy. What is your life worth to you and your family |

NO They have different compounds and very different road holding properties |

It depends o the tire type and size. If the winter tire has studs they maybe illegal for road use if there is no snow or ice. Also if they are dfferent sizes they will wear fast and could cause damage to your axles and ther drive componets |

I would not use a Michelin tyre with any other tyre on one axle but that is personal preference. Michelin is a premium brand and Continental a budget brand...another good reason. |

As long as they're the same size and aspect ratio, and the method of construction is the same they'll be legal.The latter part is the one that gives concern.
From a practical point of view the handling may well suffer too. Personally I'd never have different tyres on the same axle, and for that matter I wouldn't use part-worn tyres either as there is no way of telling what has happened to them in the past.
I appreciate money can be difficult, but if really pushed I'd go for new tyres from one of the "budget" manufacturers. You may not get startling performance or tread life from them but at least you know the casing doesn't have a hidden fracture or something. |

As long as the tires are the exact same size, then it shouldn't be a problem.
I advise against this though. I always replace the tires with the same size and type and brand on the same axle. To be honest, I always have 4 of the same tires on my truck or car.
I take it you are short on cash, or you would have gotten new tires. We all do what we have to, just to get by. |

Its fine as long as one tyre is wet and the other is kept dry! |

NO!! because the tread patterns give off a vibration that go down the axle and will eventually damage the ring gear on the differential (rear end).
not to mention different treads hold the road differently the snow (winter) will not hold the road as good as the summer
on winter tires you normally have metal spikes or studs installed in tire and will definately limit tire grip on the road. |

Tyres (yes TYRES, English was invented in England, so our spellings are correct) should be identical on the same axle, and preferably all 4 (and the spare) should match. Tyres which do not match could result in an MoT test fail. |

If the tred patterns are the same no probs, if not go back and get them to change it, can cause damage to car or effect handling. |

As long as both are the same size , have good tread and are inflated evenly it isn't a problem... |
