Hi, imho,

1. May lead to unsafe condition in the long run

2. Normally, if you are referring to the tyre uneven wear @ 'tayar makan tepi' better to

- check air pressure
- check balancing & alignment

But since you mentioned both rear tyres of different brand / model, possibly uneven wear due to different tread depth, tread pattern, treadwear, etc. for each tyre even though both are same size.

Thus normally recommended to change same brand / model, both rear tyres, both front tyres or all 4 tyres at one time.

3. If original size 175/65R14, more to comfort & quiteness like

- Michelin Energy XM2
- Toyo Teo Plus
- Continental ComfortContact5
- GT Radial Champiro Eco
- Continental PremiumContact2

please change both your rear tyres. always use the same tyres on the left and right side. different tyres perform differently and using different tyres can result in unpredictable behaviour of the car which is not something you want

Thank you guys for your input and advices. I think I gonna go with XM2. Will go change this weekend smile.gif

Yes, unfortunately not many options for the 195/50R16 blush.gif

Imho, perhaps can consider other options than Goodyear Assurance like

Achilles ATR Sport
Continental PremiumContact2
Continental SportContact2
Toyo DRB
Toyo Proxes T1R
Falken ZE912
Yokohama A-Drive R1

i wondering for those who had changed their tyres, do you offer to sell your old tyres to the tyre shop?or they just take the old tyre just like that?

well, i don't tongue.gif
since my thread is too thin already (it looks like super slick F1 tyre), i'm sure it won't have any value for trade in

usually shops have their own standards on how many percentage of thread wear to be considerable for trade in
i'm not too sure myself wink.gif

Curios question,

Am driving a benz eclass w212 and recently notice that my car is getting louder and louder due to tyres grinding road..check somewhere in mb forums, they say the eclass normally have 3 tyres..michelin, bridgestone and continental.. mine comes with the michelin.

According to what they say, michelin is the best for this model. but am looking for something to reduce the noise..any tyre that i should be looking at?

Imho, especially comparing same model, the 50 series is lighter than the 55 series due to thinner sidewall / less rubber / less overall diameter
