i am currently running conti sport contacts all round and my fronts are coming up for replacement,i am happy with the contis except i think they are a bit noisy so i have been looking at goodyear f1 asymetric or pirelli p zero.
on discussing this with my local a.t.s. they will not fit a pair only as they say it will mess up the 4wd system.
their argument is to do with the rolling radius not matching the almost new contis they fitted to the rear.
i pointed out that the new tyres on the rear and the now worn fronts would also have a different radius so it cant be that critical,however they insist they are correct and you must have 4 matching tyres fitted so unless i want to dump 2 perfectly good contis i cant switch brands. any advice appreciated..thanks
