Hi Jamie,
I always seem to end up buying tyres in axle pairs, although I tend to like having a matching set all round as I always feel that a car drives better with matching tyres all round.
However, sometimes I find that when I come to buy a pair (still lots of life left in the other pair) that model I have been using has been discontinued and replaced with a newer model that has a slightly different tread pattern.
My question is....
Is it still a good plan to stick with the newer model and then upgrade the other pair once they are worn out? Am I going to notice much difference in performance by having the newer/older version of the same tyre brand and model on different axles?
Thanks
