....Are you mixing them with the Dunlop Sport Maxx TT's? The Dunlop TT's are asymmetric as are the Vred Sessanta's but it's not recommended to mix them. As Hurdy also reports, the ESP etc gets confused and can action random snatching. I've experienced it first hand and it ain't pretty.
However, you can mix (not on the same axle) Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics. They are a 'sister' product from Goodyear Dunlop. Stock is expected May 15th (info from someone senior I know there).
Mandy:
I've got the Dunlop Sport Maxx (not TT) on the front and the Vredestein Sessantas on the back...
Dont really know what you can and cant mix :confused:
Nasir:
He is talking about tread patterns and tread compounds I believe. The rolling difference between the wheels due to the extra grip on one axle will make the car think it's skidding and take action by applying individual brakes and shifting power when really no action needs to be taken (I think that is what you were on about RR?). I can see this being very dangerous.
Mandy:
Ok... I think I might consider changing the front ones to the sessantas too, just to be safe.
The dunlops still got lots of use on them though, suppose I could just stick them on ebay or something...
Thanks!
