You can also be fine, but why risk it on 'The Ultimate Driving Machine'? Just get 4 that match and know your car is right.
If you start mixing and matching tyres you may as well have bought an Audi or a Prius.
To be faire we are talking about the same tyres just different revisions. It’s not like the new versions has a different name or code. Only way to tell is check the tread pattern. I was going to try the new version as generally get good reviews but this thread and £20 extra tyre have put me off. Mine is booked in this saturday to get original p zeros fitted on the fronts. Am hoping that sorts out my tramlining.
