Rising Power, its not worth it mate, despite the experiences of thousands of other people theres a few on here that will always tell you mixed tyres will make you fall off the road. Likewise turning off the TC will kill you in seconds (how TVR drivers with 400hp and no TC manage not to crash and burn every time they go out I dont know), and of course the old classic that if you havent driven RWD before, you are probably going to die too.
This then develops into posts like this:
which is hysteria at the end of the day - even driving on canvas there is no way the VDC is going to fire front and back wheels all the time unless theres a size mismatch, sensor problem or other fault, and anyway did the guy who had it before you drive it with the safety systems going off all the time? Really?
We then get:
which is not only inacurate, its frankly terrible advice. Ive even had people on here tell me that 4 matched Ditchfinders are safer than mixing MPS's on the front and RE050A's on the back .......... and thats the point when I realised its not worth it.
You know, I know and the OP knows that running different tyres front and back isnt going to cause accidents - Ill accept that it might alter the characteristics of the car somewhat, but nowhere near what different pressures, tread depths or heaven forbid DRIVING IN THE RAIN will do, we will keep driving to the conditions and grip available and these guys can keep playing their by now very scratched record.
Apologies for singling you out CrumbMC and Id add that I have the utmost respect for Ekona and his opinions, I just dont necessarily agree with them
