as per title, what are your thoughts on running these on mk4 gti

my front tyres were badly damaged due to wishbone bushes, got these very cheap £45 each  :lipsrsealed:

Previously I had 225/40 which I still got at rear, is it alright to run 235/40 front and 225/40 rear

It might upset the abs due to different rolling radius

225/40 ftw, would be a better bet.

While driving around roundabouts I feel like my car oversteer. Can it be cause of different Tyres at front or it's due to cheap quality?

Cheap tyres would probably be more likely to cause understeer wouldn't they?

I am not sure cause when I bought these I was short of cash and in different city to mine so had to buy these. Initially I wanted second hand 225/40 but tyre guy said you can get 235/40 new in similar price and it won't make any difference to driving  :undecided:
