What happens if tyres are mismatched?
Sumit Kumar
Group Manager, Corporate Quality – Tire Performance & Uniformity Specialist at Apollo Tyres, Head Office, Gurugram.
Radial tyres need to be matched side-to-side so treadwear is balanced. If one tyre is even a little different in diameter, both tyres will wear unevenly and more rapidly.
Mismatched tyres front-to-back aren’t a problem unless you have four drive wheels. With 4WD, AWD, and On Demand, all tires must be the same size, diameter, tread width, and design. Otherwise, the computerized control system and the gearing will experience problems leading to damage.
Summarise shortly:- The car loses stability and at high speeds will lose stability and control and end up crashing or turning turtle. Don't try such things as they affect the safety of the car user and other road users' safety. Always use the tyre size recommended by the car manufacturer or the ones that came with the new car
