Can i use differnt tires? and what pressure is best for our car?
The armrest thing says that we should have 33psi in the front and 32psi in the back. The maximum pressure for my rear tires are 44psi. I also have two different tires in the front (different from the rear) becuase i had to ahve them replaced and theyre used tires at $10 a piece.
The rear tires are P215/60R15 93H and the front are P205/65 R15 92T and the other front is the same except its S not T. (the speed rating?) The maximum pressure in the fronts are 35 psi.
So what im asking is what should the pressure be for my tires? and is it a probem that I have 3 different types of tires? (BTW, it pulls to right, especially while I am accelerating)
thanks

You should avoid running different tires. Tread patterns affect how many revolutions the tire spins. Running different tires affects handling, especially traction when you need it most. One tire type can spin 750 revolutions/mile while the other spins 900 rev/mile. At least have each respective "axle" run the exact same tire type (Example: the front "axle": Michelin Pilot Sport; rear axle Pirelli p6000).
Running different tires on the same "axle" is even worse! If one tire is bad and you cant get the same type I would go ahead and purchase 2 than be sorry later down the road than to settle with different tires. I'm sure the different front tires are causing your car to pull.
Dont be cheap on tires!

If I were you I'd go out and buy a nice set of new tires so all 4 match. You don't have to go crazy, spend about 300 - 400 bucks and you'll be riding tight again.

I got 2 different tires on my car dunlop and firestone (which one just happened to be blown out). The main thing to make sure of is that all 4 all the same size or your ride will be bad. but the best thing to do is just get a new set of 18's with the rims to match....
