Can you get away with ATRs on one axle and Zeros on the other to avoid up grading all 4 tyres in one go?

Some would say it's a cardinal sin, it wouldn't worry me for road use. As long as you're sensible. Thumbs Up

Good stuff. Would you put the ATRs on the back?

SUBJECT TO THE OPINION OF SOMEONE THAT IS SOBER I'd put whichever has the best tread on the back. Too many Caribs (with lime) & Painkillers have been consumed to give a totally confident reply. Mr. Green

It was meant to be a booze free day but 2 Caribs after tricky docking at the marina put paid to that notion. Whistle

why though? I would put the newer tyres on the front since the front have to drive and turn.

FYI, I bought a 2nd hand D4 in Oct 15 and the rear tyres are almost worn out but the fronts have plenty of thread.

Dealer said they had the tyres rotated prior to delivery, so I am assuming that the fronts wear out faster than the rears?

or am I missing something?

To stop the rear end stepping out. Thumbs Up

Plus on my D3 they wear out pretty evenly front to rear.

hmmm, i'm not convinced: most of the weight is on the front axle (due to the engine), plus the fronts need to steer as well.

My GG at2s are very noisy and you feel all the lumps and bumps look great but can't wait to get then off

Any one else have this problem ??

Just search Google, plenty of information as to why new tyres should always be fitted on the rear. The reason being that understeer is far easier and safer to control than oversteer. Thumbs Up

wow, I just learnt something new, contrary to what I had always done Shocked

I'm going to the tyre shop later to rotate the tyres as the more worn ones are currently on the rear.

Thanks chaps, that's why I hand around here.
