My teener has 4 Yokohama AVS Intermediates in 205/50-15.
The rear tires really need to be replaced, but the front ones still have somewhere around half their life left. So what I wanted to do was just replace the rear tires with new ones and rotate the older tires from the front to the rear. Problem is Yokohama doesn't make the AVS Intermediate any more ... according to the guy at Discount Tire, Yokohama has replaced the AVS with a new model called the "S.Drive". Naturally the tire dealer wants me to buy 4 new tires (apparently mixing models of tires will cause the car to explode or something) ... well I just don't have the cash for 4 tires, so I'm wondering if moving the good AVS's to the rear and putting new 205/50-15 S.Drives on the front would be just fine? Is there really some problem with mixing and matching models of tires or is that all just tire salesman hype? |
