Same brand for all four

Its actually down to the way rubber degrades.

You can typically get 4-5 years out of a set before they start to crack.  When they do, they're an MOT issue.  If you put your oldest tyres on the driven axle, you are eliminating that risk.

My fronts have lasted one year, the rears look as though they will last two.
I am convinced the tyre makers have used the case of a dreadful old American car spinning after hitting a puddle to force us into this knackered tyres on front policy.

I will trust in my ABS and ESP and enjoy nice new rubber on the front.

When i bought my GTI it had a pair of 'Admiral' tyres on the front, they were so bad in the wet they were dangerous, had them replaced within 2 weeks!

But the tyre makers say you should only have worn out slippy rubber on the front.  lol

i had kumo tyers on my gti to start, they were sh!te and swapped for F1's, now have F1 asys all round!

the kumo's were just a budget tyer with a name, ive also found yoko's to not be to good in the past.

I was going to put Kumhos on but after your review joe I think I'll fit Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetrics as per Evo's test.

keith at white-lund tyers and exhausts is the cheapest around here if your buying local 

or RSM (road and stage motorsport), white lund again.
