The only 'rule' was that you needed the same type (i.e. cross-ply or radial) of tyre on each axle - although I think that different types may now be a thing of the past.


It may make sense to replace any tyre that is very close to needing it (as regards depth of tread, even if still 'legal') - particularly in the winter when grip is peculiarly important, but there is no need to make a general replacement of tyres (you wouldn't if one was e.g punctured, after all).


Remember to ensure that your spare, if your car is one of those that has one, is properly inflated in case you need to use it.

The tyres on each axle should have the same wear. All 4 tyres should be the same identical model.


Some people alternate the tyres from front to back and vice versa when the car is serviced in order to even out the wear.


I would not scrimp on tyres (or brakes) as, obviously, they are the only thing that connect the car to the road!


I use Event Tyres (no connection) - https://www.event-tyres.co.uk/


They provide a good (and v competitive) mobile fitting service.

Not always but you need to check with the manufacturer- some 4WD systems have a fine tolerance for differences in the rolling radius of the wheel - where a new tyre on the same diff as a well worn one can mash the 4WD diff system. if the A4 is 4WD, then you need to check this. I think quattro systems are OK with this however.

Only if you're a car enthusiast. There's no problem in having a mix of good quality tyres in good order, fitted by a competent garage.

    • Luckily I'm at the bottom of the Rye in the Gardens so fortunately not too put out by the noise. I doubt it's very pleasant if you live closer. My issue is about the councils seemingly underhand way of communicating and dealing with local residents concerns and opinions. Basically these type of events go ahead regardless. That to me is a bit snide, dishonest and not how a council should treat its residents. There's a fair bit of damage done to the park and all for the benefit/ profit of a private company and PR consultants/ professional bullshitters.
    • I asked why you go in given that you'd rather it closed because it doesn't provide for your needs.  I have never seen the till not being manned, ever.There are also self service checkouts. Many of the brand sweets and crisps are smaller in size. I guess that's why they cost less to buy.
    • Hi Everyone,  I am an architecture student from the US, and am currently studying the Dawson's Heights Estate. I am having a hard time finding materials to study, so I was wondering if anyone would happen to have any floor plans or other architectural drawings for the building they would be willing to share, or if anyone here could give advice on where I should look?
