having changed wheels from 15" to 16" one of the tyres is no good, the 3 uniroyals are ok 6mm + tread. wondering what the oof in general think about just putting one new tyre on which will have more tread & a different tread pattern. :-\

If you drive like Grandma, fine. Otherwise, no.

would have kept 15s as 16" tires cost a lot more-for some reason 17"tires cheaper than 16" :o :o

I have always put same tyres on the same axle. You could always keep the 3rd tyre as a spare in the boot. :y
