Miller350z Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 After doing an oil change on my car the other day i noticed the inside of both front tyres are really badly worn. At the moment i have khumo tyres on tje front and on the rear hankook ventus v12 evo that have only done about 3000iles if that. ideally id have mpss all round but would it be ok to put mpss on the front and leave the back? do you use 2 sets of rears to one set of fronts? will 4 wheel alignment fix the wear on the inside of the tyre?

SHEZZA Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Yes I'd say you'd get through two sets of rears to one set of fronts. Though depending on how many miles a year you do you might be waiting a couple of years to replace those rears! I personally wouldn't mix tyres. If You really want the MPSS id just get all four replaced then sell the hankooks on ( costly I know ! But well worth it imo ) As for a four wheel alignment that will sort out the toeing out you have by the sounds of it.

ZMANALEX Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Ideally same tyres all round is what you want, however mixed as you have suggested will work, but not ideal, especially with winter almost upon us. As has been suggested fit a complete set of MPSS and sell your part worns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller350z Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 i think fitting a full set is the ideal, if im likely to get 2 years or so use out of the rear i guess thats a long time to have mixed tyres. just spent £165 on service parts from hd, getting a new kitchen in 4 weeks and then its cash for Christmas......better start banging in the overtime!!!!

Ekona Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 If you put new fronts that are excellent tyres on (like the MPSS) with worn tyres on the rear that aren't quite as good, then you're making the car very prone to oversteer. Only you know if that's a risk you feel worth taking when the weather is getting increasingly colder and wetter. Personally for the sake of a couple of hundred quid I wouldn't risk it, but ultimately it's up to you. A four wheel alignment may not sort out your tyre wear issues, it very much depends on how you want the car setup. Unfortunately if you want a car to grip and handle you end up with premature wear on your tyres, so you may have to sacrifice great handling for longer tyre wear. Again, each to their own.

coldel Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 If you pootle around at 20 mph you could have four different tyres on and you will be fine, if you intend to give it a bit of gas and make the most of the car, sell the part worns and pick up a complete set.

Miller350z Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 sounds like a plan. If my geometry is set up for handling, would doing the 4 wheel alignment make it handle worse?? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 It might, but in all honesty if you've not had an alignment on the car for 12 mths then it'll probably be miles out anyway. So it will actually improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommoger Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I got a set of 4 Eagle F1s before winter last year and they totally transformed the car, so much grip in the dry and wet, plus they've barely worn away which is good considering mine's a daily driver!
