Mercedes SLK World Forum - View Single Post - any probs with diff tread front and back tyres?

GAM817 · 03-25-2008

Hi all,

Is there any issue with using different paired types of tyres in the front and back?

I called a place about Good Year F1 GSD3 and they said that the rear 265/35/18s now have a different tread to the front 234/40/18s and that it would cause problems.

myth or fact?

He offered Dunlop Sport Maxx (approx AUD$1800) or Kumho KU31 SPT Ecsta (AUD$1660). My friend has the Kumho's on his Lexus IS250 (235/40/18 all around) and said they're superb in the wet (for him). But $1660 sounds a bit much.. anyone else in Australia have experience with these?
