I have 205/40/17 front and back at the moment. Fronts are Dunlop sp900s down to 2mm and rear has one Wanli s1099 and one Pirelli P7000 both looked new when I got the car. I don't particularly like the mix but that's what it came with.
I noticed recently that the traction control light coming on when accelerating out of junctions, I'm blaming the tyre ware and the wet roads (I'm not an aggressive driver honest). I have also kerbed the alloys a couple of times since getting the car. So I got two 215/40/17 Wanli s1099s cheap of ebay, thinking of better rim protection. I was considering getting another matching pair (new if I have to, I know I'm a skinflint ).
I was browsing the forums for tyre info and found
"Something to bear in mind though when you change the tyres next time - as long as the sizes match for each axel (ie front two are the same and/or back two are the same) you'll be ok and legal."

Has anyone done this, I may consider getting another 205/40/17 Wanli to have a different size but matching set. Wider on the front as this is where most kerbing takes place.
What do you think?
(I know Wanli is a cheap Chinese rip-off tyre, and that I am a skinflint so just comments on the different sizes back to front please. )
