So I contacted Protyre tire advice uk  and posed the question . 2 same manuf tires with same load and same speed but differing models. So an Avon zv7 and a Avon ZZ5 both brand new on real axle of front wheel drive.

Here is their answer

 

 

Good Morning,

 

Further to our live chat conversation on Monday I have double checked with our Centre Manager for you and I can confirm the below:

 

Although legally and for an MOT purpose if  the tyres are of the same size, speed and load rating yes you can mix tyre patterns and brands.

 

Please see comment on our website :

 

UK law specifies your vehicle must be fitted with the correct type and size of tyre for the vehicle you are driving and the purpose for which it is being used. This means fitting the right tyres, ensuring that they have sufficient tread, are appropriately inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure and free from damage.

 

Both the Avon products are asymmetric in design and provided both same size load rating and speed rating there is no problem with mixing the product.

 

Hope this helps answer your query.

So there u have it , The not for me , or the " will create a death trap"   Prove me wrong now . Show me science data that 2 brand new asymmetrical tires on  the rear of a FWD car in wet conditions , will cause concern. No opinions , no what I think **** ,, SCIENCE RESULTS , Where is the proof.

 

Charles from Manchester writes , in my opinion ,,, !!!! **** your opinion show me scientific results. My car is a family car not a Ferrari Enzo on the Nuremburg.  

 

Why are you so hung up on this ? Some of us have said we would not do it. Some are not bothered. You have your answer from the pro’s so go and do what you want !

 

If you want me for one to say oh yeah it’s not a problem then you are wasting your time. No matter what anyone says I would never do it.....

I'd like to apologise for Nuremburg you know what I meant , a bevvied me typing .

Nick as always a pleasure to hear from you.

Just relax. It's legal in the UK so do whatever you like. 

 

However, you mentioned earlier in the thread you like to 'press on' so I reckon family car at the Ring? 

 

Anyway, I hope you understand where most people are coming from with the advice. (Best) from 4 same tyres - same tyres on one axle - happy mix tyres (worst). Also higher grip at the rear unless you like oversteer.
