Mixing ****ty and Good Tires Is Bad Idea

Hi All!

There was some discussion about mix matching tires earlier. Here is a video mixing tires on a rwd car in a wet test track. He rotate the tires around around 7:30 ish mark.

Moral of story, just spent the money on good tires. It's your car and life (plus others) that depend upon it.

Bentley is for peasants, try Bugatti EB110. Only $8 million euros.

When mixing tires, the best tires always go on the rear. He had it backwards.
