Hi sifus, may I know if tyres of different size can be mixed for usage?
For example, a myvi that is currently using four assurance triplemax tyres size 185-55-15 (stock tyre). Two of the tyres require replacement. Can replace with two assurance triplemax 2 size 195-55-15?
Would there be any negative side effects, especially on safety?
As long they are in pair in front or in rear of the car, no issue. Why would you want to use wider that original?For example, a myvi that is currently using four assurance triplemax tyres size 185-55-15 (stock tyre). Two of the tyres require replacement.

Negative:
Wider tire more susceptible to aqua planning
Slower acceleration due to heavier tire
The diameter increased slightly thus need to put more power to rotate for front tire. More fuel.
Longer braking distance due to more tire inertia.
On the benefit side
None perhaps.
