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

QUOTE(Iceman74 @ Jan 9 2023, 02:34 PM) 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

QUOTE(epjx31 @ Jan 9 2023, 03:34 PM) Based on my price tableName 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  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.
