Need some expert advise. Current tyre size is 205/60/R16. wanted to change 2 tyres but the model that I wanted don't have the same size (Conti MC6 has 205/45/R16, UC7 has 205/50/R16 or 205/65/R16). couldn't afford to change all 4 due to budget constraints (CNY is js around the corner).

Questions:
1) Will there be any problem if the tyres have different aspect ratio (eg. the 2 front tyres are MC6 205/45/R16 while the rear tyres remain the current size 205/60/R16)?

many thanks in advance

why no go for UC6? they got 205/60/16
or go for 215/55/16 if your rims can support it

thanks for your reply. i don't mind going for different width/aspect ratio (as long as mechanic confirms that the rim can support). the concern is whether there will be any major issue/consideration if the 2 new tyres have different width/aspect ratio smile.gif

Based on my price table

Name Tire Size Price(RM)
Toyo Nano Energy NE03 205/60R16 302
Continental UC6 205/60R16 (UC6) 407
Michelin Energy XM2+ 205/60R16 420
Michelin Primacy 4st 205/60R16 435

There is 4 options with your size. UC6 or XM2+ looks good smile.gif

I would not recommend to have different sizes due to varying outer diameter complications.

thank you for the answer. it seems I hv to work harder to get all 4 tyres changed together to the same size to avoid any complications. thank you.
