Someone slashed one of my tires at school and I'm short in cash. How bad would it be if I drive with 2 pairs with different sizes?
I guess one pair would be 225/40/18 and the other would prolly be 235/40/18.

As long as you keep the 2 front and 2 rear the same, no problem. It's not legal to have them different from side to side. I am running 215's front and 205's rear.

I forgot to say that the brand and tread pattern would be different. The front would be BF Goodrich Euro T/A and the rear would be Kumho Ecsta Supra 712. How bad would that be?

so long as your front two tires are the same as each other, and your rear two are the same as each other

I still have the OEM Goodyears in the front and 1 year old Toyos on the rear (same size for all 4: 205-65/15), and had no issues.

As long as each pair is on the same axel, should be no problem dude.

He did that just for looks right? ]
Anyways..thanks for the responses I guess running different treads is not that bad during the summer. During rain I would think is a different story.
