I need to replace the front tyres, and I'm currently running the standard 195 55 15...but the car is lowered so I would prefer to eventually be on 195 50 15 all round. The problem I have got is that the rear tyres have still got plenty of life left in them and do not need changing yet.

So would it be OK to run 50's on the front and 55's on the back? Or is this generally a no no??

Also, if I was to buy off the t'interweb, would most tyre places be happy to fit tyres if you supply yourself?

Cheers, Gaz

I've never known a garage refuse to fit tyres you've bought elsewhere, but it's worth giving them a ring beforehand so you can arrange to do it during their downtime or leave the car with them - it's the sort of job that they'll often do for cash. Tends to be around £10 a corner doon sooth, or a bit cheaper ooop noorth.

As it's only two wheels drive there's nothing to stop you having different sized tyres as long as each axel is matched - the rears are at the end of the day just being dragged along at whatever speed the front is going
