What happens if one of my tires is a different size?

If you continually use mismatched tires and wheels they will wear out unevenly and can cause problems later down the road. If you choose to drive your vehicle with mismatched wheels the same issues can result. Mismatched wheels will fit each tire differently causing uneven wear and tear.

Can you drive with one tire bigger than the others?

Can you drive a car with different size tires? Absolutely. Some cars do have wider or bigger tires/wheels in the back compared to the front (assuming the car is rear wheel drive.) This is not usually a lot bigger, but maybe 2 sizes bigger.

Can I have two different TYRE sizes?

Can you have different size tyres front and back? Generally, in a front or rear-wheel drive, as long as you have ensured both pairs of tyres are the same, you can have different size tyres between rear and front if the suspension geometry is set to accommodate for this.

Is it OK to put different size tires on a car?

Wheels and tires are not interchangeable words. Tires are a part of the wheel setup. For instance, your vehicle has a set size of rims, but you can buy different sizes of tires to fit those rims, as long as the middle of the tires is the correct size.

Can I have 4 different tyres on my car?

Can I mix different tyre tread patterns? No. Mixing different tread patterns across the same axle is not allowed. That said, tyre experts – including Protyre, Continental, and TyreSafe – strongly recommend that you fit the same tyres on all wheel positions of your vehicle.

What happens if tires are too tall?

Effects of Wrong Size Tires Choosing too tall of a tire can result in a vehicle prone to rolling over, a dangerous concern for any driver. Tall tires may also rub against the inside of the wheel well. While not immediately problematic, this rubbing can lead to steering issues over time.
