Mixing tyre types

[roz84]

I have a ssangyong rexton which is fitted with BF Goodrich AT tyres all round - the front ones are virtually new, the rears are near the limit and I have the MOT coming up and some other bits need doing on the car.

I've seen other AT tyres at nearly half the price of the BFGs, would it hurt to fit a set?

I would stick to the BFG's if you can, they are fantastic tyres and given how long they last are actually really good value.

Shop around online and see if you get them at a bit better price.

Having said that, it won't cause problems with odd tyres, just might look a little odd.

I was looking recently for my Santa Fe and in the size I needed I found BFG's for around €150 euro each, I eventually went with Good Year Wranglers for about €105 each as I needed all 4 and I'm not flush with funds at the moment, otherwise I would have gone with the BFG's.

My experience of BFG's is from a set I put on a Landcruiser Amazon about 10 years ago, they were still going strong after 60k miles! So although expensive to buy, they actually work out good value.

I suppose what I'm actually asking is will it damage the car to fit a cheaper set? I know that some cars have to have the same fitted all round - these would be same type/tread pattern etc just a different make!

If you fit the same dimensions it should not be a problem.
