Im looking into getting new tyres as my rears as quite worn especially after doing a level 2 driving course.

My step dads making a fuss saying i have to get the same tyres as the ones i have on the front. The front tyers i have on are Nankangs ive had them on for over a year and still plenty of tread left on them

The rear is my second set..had nankangs which were crappy on the rear and wore them out now have worn Austyre or something cant quite remember.

Im asking if it will make any difference putting different type of tyres on as they have different tread pattern????

someone please shed some light on the situation

yes its fine. The only time it would cause an issue is on the track where they will warm up differently. Even then its not a massive problem as front and rears warm up differently anyway!

My Dads the same "must have same tyres front and rear, blah blah blah" yeah maybe thats what they had to do in the olden days, when they had to have the same tyres front and rear whilst dodging dinosaurs on the way to the shops!

I had this issue when my Potenza RE-01Rs wore out at the rear. I replaced them with Toyo Proxes.

The difference in heat build-up was such that the Proxes felt mushy. When my Potenzas wore down at the front & replaced with Proxes (as a matching set), everything was sweet again.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
