I agree entirely Andy. Is it worth it..save a few quid, and you end up dead Also. isn't it illegal to have different Tire makes on the same axle ? They had a serious test on second hand tires the other month, in a respectable car mag, and the results where frightening ! ( from german sourced ,s/h tire sellers ) It's even as frightening when you see some of the tires tests..showing braking distances / difference between..according to makes/ prices etc The difference between braking distances = life/ v death !!! And, what the hell's the point in having a hi perf car..and shoving crap tires on it ! AND..you don't have to spend an absolute fortune on tires..my beloved Toyo T1 Sports, are far from being the most expensive !! And, Federal 539's, aren't at all expensive.. and they are good !!

I saw some tests on strange tires and they were 30% less efficient with braking distance.
