Is it dangerous to be using 2 different sets of tyres on 1 car

Front wheels - Some fucking random make

Back Wheels = Bridgestone

Car is a 4wheel drive Evo VIII does the problem need correcting quickly or am I alright for abit

depend's how they are, it's never going to be THAT dangerous, it will just effect the stability and driving characteristics on the limit. diff tires front and back are ok, it's when you have diff side to side or 2 diff on front or back etc..

If it's close to the limit doing 80 then yes there will be a difference in handling, not an amazing amount, but as u said.. twitching, if it's matching GOOD tires front and matching GOOD back you should not really have a problem at all tho

For the hassle your going through, just buy the tyres here. If you can afford to run an Evo then you can afford bloody tyres!

If you're cornering at 80 and can't tell if there's a problem, you're going to crash anyway. The tyres don't matter.
