Can I mix standard and all-season tyres?
I'm thinking of replacing the standard tyres with all-season tyres on my Suzuki SX4 S-Cross All Grip. The front tyres need replacing soon, but the rear ones are good for another year or so. Is it OK to put all-season tyres on the front and leave the standard tyres on the rear until they are worn? In other words, is it OK to mix standard and all-season tyres? Thanks.

It is very unwise to mix all-season tyres with standard tyres. When grip conditions are low, the front of the car would have significantly more grip than the rear and this will destabilise the handling and possibly result in an accident.
