Hello good evening I have a 2015 Volvo S60 I just got my 2 front tires replaced but each tire is a different name brand but the same size is that ok
It should be fine but in the future if you're able to if it is front wheel drive you should put the same tires on the front
@larrybirdd can you please put a better description in your titles than just "tire". Thank you.
Terrible idea . Don't mix them.
Even if the tires are the same size, there will be differences in weight, sidewall stiffness, rolling friction, static friction, heat capacity, etc. that could become important.
If it’s front wheel drive, and if the 2 in front match each other and the 2 in back match each other, then it should be mostly OK. There might be more understeer or oversteer under acceleration or braking, so you will want to be careful (especially in the wet or snow). But mostly OK.
If it is AWD or if you have mismatched tires side to side (which is what it sounds like), then it’s no bueno. If the wear on all 4 tires is similar, you might be able to get by for a while. But I’d start saving up for a new set.
is that ok
no
can I mix tire brands
The question is wether you should and the answer is - no.
front tires
This will wear out the diff that's inside of your gearbox.
(along with additional concerns)
Generally you would want to get the same tire, don't know why you got 2 different brands, the only thing long term would be different amounts of potential wear potentially. For example ones that have a 35k warranty vs 75k warranty. If you get that then it is most likely to have the 35k warranty tire wear out faster. Not always but it could be said to be expected.
