QUOTE(malowar @ Feb 9 2013, 01:06 AM) 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 QUOTE(Karenalvin @ Feb 9 2013, 04:24 AM) 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 |

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 |

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 |
