4wd new tyres

[tezzer22]

hi , i need 4 new tyres for my 4wd bongo , i know you are supposed to have same diameter tyres all round but how critical is it, can i get away with 2 new and 2 worn ones for a few weeks or must i replace all at the same time

Would have thought same size could just put 2 on but if realy worried then 2 new ones on front at lower pressure than rear should be ok

I was told that new tyres should go on the rear. Something to do with the new tyres having better grip and the rear end overtaking you with the lower grip on old tyres.

You could always disconnect the front prop shaft....

Accelera tyres seem to be good value for money if the budget is quite tight, but there are lots of other reasonable price brands and suppliers such as:
