Can I drive with a mixed set of tyres?
This is permitted as long the same type of tyre is fitted to the two opposite wheels on the same axle. Nevertheless, we would warn against mixing tyre sets as this significantly lowers tyre performance and road holding on wet or icy roads. • Can I get a tyre approval certificate from you? You need to get an approval certificate from the tyre manufacturer containing all the necessary technical information for any tyre or rim sizes that you want to buy which are not listed in your car manufacturers handbook. Anything different such as size has to be checked first and given the okay by an expert. This, however is not necessary if the new tyres comply with the vehicle / EC type approval documents. • Does it matter what type of tyre I fit on the rim? You should always seek specialist advice from either the rim or vehicle manufacturer or look in your vehicles registration documents to find out what tyres / tyre sizes have been approved for your vehicle • How do I know what colour the writing
