tyres problem

hi,

my car currently running dz101 195/55/15 around......but one of my tyres have puncture repair 2 month ago and yesterday i found that tyres have puncture again...so, i decided to get a now one...

but i want something different, so, can i put 205/50/15 dz101 on both front and running dz101 195/55/15 on back?or even running different brand on front??

will it make the car difficult to drive, etc??

thx

yea thats fine to do that but id reccomend having the same size once you wear out the other 195s....

and no it dosnt matter if different brands.....

the only bad thing you could do is mix brands or sizes on the same axle.......that would not be ideal at all 8)

lol, thats debateable but i refuse to repair if it has four already.....(or tyre is not WOFable or damaged sidewall)

id rather retain the structual integrity of the tyre than risk it for a $20 8)

I still have trouble with the 19.5's on the trailers. You'd never see me swinging off the end of a super single!
