Does running different treads in my tyres...

SiKkBaSs · 10-13-2009, 07:18 AM

make a drastic effect in the wear of my other tyres. I've got a below legal tyre on my offside right and will change it to one I managed to get for £47 (still has 8mm). My front two have 6mm and the other rear is running at 4mm...what's the thoughts??

Still running good ol' Bridgestone RFTs on all tyres at the same size. Will do a complete change when I get new rims. So making do for the time being...

I take it you are talking about different tread depths and not type.

Shouldn't make any difference at all if they are the same tyre with the exception of very wet roads. Naturally the one with deeper tread is going to clear the water better.
