What happens if you put different tires on the front and rear wheels?
Tire Reviews conducted another test, the goal of which was to find out how a car would behave with different tire qualities on the front and rear axles. This method is often used by many motorists. This is done in order to save money, so as not to buy a full set of tires every time.
The essence of the experiment
In fact, this method is widespread - car owners put one set of new tires, most often on the drive axle, and another set of cheap (or used) ones. In the video below you can see what happens in such cases.
For the stability of the car, especially if it has decent power, the adhesion of two wheels will not be enough. In this case, on wet pavement, the test car, a BMW M2 with 410 horses under the hood, skidded all the time and was rather unstable. The driver is constantly on edge.
Hack and predictor Aviator
Experts from Tire Reviews remind that good rubber plays an important role in a car, as it makes it stable, improves its handling, affects vehicle dynamics, braking, and even fuel consumption. And if their quality is different, it worsens the stability of the car, because their parameters - tread pattern and hardness, rubber composition, do not work the same.

Different tires can also be placed on different axes on the contrary to increase the stability and controllability of the car.
