Different tires!!! What a...?

I noticed that I have 3 different brand tires on my '02 Civic. They are of the same type. Front left is Dunlop, both rear are Michelin. I can't even recognize brand of my front right tire! Is that the reason why I feel vibration (feeling like I am driving on uneven road) in front of the car? I did alignment month ago.

Re: Different tires!!! What a...?

haha

ghetto!

this might be a bad question, but are all 4 tires at least the same size? like 185/65/r15 at least?

either way though, you should fix that problem hahahaha.
tires are cheap man, go get a set of 4 from somewhere. if you still have your stock rims or something like that, im assuming you dont care much as to what type of rubber you put on there. go to wal-mart or something, i think you can get 4 brand new, good quality, all season tires, such as michelin or goodyear...with install and balance for like 250$

Yep, they are all same size

Anyway, I am gonna buy winter tires this weekend. Is it safe to drive though?
Btw, what winter tires are better: studded or non studded?

Does anyone know if BFGoodrich - Winter SlalomŽ are good tires? I am looking for something no more than $280. Other alternatives are GoodYear, Dunlop, and Firestone. Any recommendations what brand I should choose?

Re: Different tires!!! What a...?

Your tires should be ok to drive on them still. As for the winter tires, I wouldnt recommend the Winter Slaloms, I've had them on my car and they feel like all season tires on ice or just a little slippery conditions.
