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 tongue.gif

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.
