I picked up some 215/45/17 tires [set of 2] for a bargain price. Can I run them on front and 215/50/17 on the back? |

Out of curiosity, what happens when ur size is different from one side to the next? Or when only one tire is smaller than the rest if its a non powered axle, you fck up your handling/braking if its the drive axle (front) it will add additional wear on your differential. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
