Is it common among car owners in Germany to have tires from different manufacturers?

I noticed that the summer tires belong to previous owners and are from different manufacturers.

Now I'm looking for complete rims with tires in the classifieds – again mixmax.

Is it common practice here with tires: Fulda in front, Michelin behind?

They have different braking distances and behave differently under different conditions. Even different models from the same manufacturer.

Or do people still drive like this here?

Can you pass the TÜV inspection this way?

The tires should only be the same on each axle. In other words, when the front tires are worn in a front drive, only the front tires are often renewed. This is why many also change the tires after the season from the front to the back and the other way around

Come on.

I had two very good and two marginally worn tires on the car.

So I renewed the worn-out.

At kfzteile24, I was joined and got two Hankook at good price. I can't tell you the manufacturer of the other two tires, but it's another one.

The TÜV didn't complain.

I don't know what it would be like, but maybe some are doing it for cost reasons. A mixed ripening is in itself not prohibitions. She just has to be the same. Then it's not a problem. I'm a friend from the front and back.

She just has to be the same.

Not even when it comes to different rubber mixtures, manufacturers and profile depth.

From the law, mixing tires are about the constructions radially and diagonally. This must not be mixed on an axis.

Practically, the clear majority of car tires are now radial tires. Diagonal tires are rather the exception.

You're right. But if I did, I would actually only drive the same axis.

Mixed ripening is allowed and not uncommon
