Stupid tyre question ! Lol

[Charlyyy-s3]

Hi lads, went to a part worn tyre place to get some 225/35/17 he has 4 of em that have a similar tread on but they are 4 different brands, is it okay ? Or is it dodgy to have 4 same size tyres with different brands ?

I would never do it

I wouldn't either.
Shouldn't the profile be 45 ?

Getting the car lowered by 30mm next week and need to change tyres so thought id go for 35's ? Is that wrong ?

Yes, your speedo will read incorrectly, plus its a false economy buying part worn tyres, especially mismatched ones, at best you will have strange handling characteristics, at worst a blow out, premature wear, uneven braking. It would be better to buy 4 budget tyres than 4 premium brand part worns.

Okay guys thanks for the answers, wont be getting them tyres, bit gutted about having to stay in 45's really....
