Why do manufacturers make cars with tyres which are not interchangeable

Different sizes back and front are usually done to give better handling.

Useful feature in lundun?

But not on shopping trolleys, I'd guess.

True colours Duhve?


It means you can't swap the tyres to even the wear.

That hasn't been recommended for many a year. Front and rear tyres develop
a different wear pattern. Swap them over when part worn and you could get
less than ideal handling until they scrub themselves in.

Sounds dubious. Rear tyres wear evenly across, fronts lose their
shoulders from scrub. Swap em around & you get "new" shoulders on
the front pair, no real detriment to the rears...


Unless you did it
frequently. And it means buying 4 new tyres all at once.

All matching...
