What I mean is, it doesn't matter if the tyres don't all match makes, as long as the tread is decent. All you would have to do is run them until they're worn and then replace them.
Im the same with tyres, they have to be good, but for buying a set of wheels with tyres already fitted, I couldn't give a shit what make they are as they wouldn't be on them too long anyway

for me its getting that balance of price, grip and time it lasts.
im actually gob smacked at the fact toyo proxie t1rs have only last 4-5month  from new
iv had khumo ku31 before (for a few month) so cant really say how they last but price isnt too bad for the grip they have so i may be getting them next
iv also normally had sunnys (twice) and in the dry their not too bad and they deffo tick price and long lasting but once it rains you may aswell not drive your car as they are death!!!
avon - alrite for price
yoko s-drives bit pricey but still to try
uniroyal - yet to rate, how much you pay for them though?

Watch my track videos, I was using uniroyal rainexperts which aren't really made for track and they were mint, I was throwing the car into corners at stupid mph and back end never came out, in the wet too!
