So I just got some tires off eBay, and 3/4 of them have identical tread but one has slightly different tread in the rear, is this a big deal?
They're all Michelin pilot sports
Fronts are 255/35/19
Rears are 285/35/19

Picture of different treads

 

Model change in the tire? If you're just cruising around, I doubt there would be that much of an issue. But it would seem if you have 2 different models of tire in a set, they are different ages? Previous owner took a nail and that likely replaced it. Is the tread depth different?

 

I think you'll be fine

 

Dude though the past year I had some as$h0le stab my tire(s) months apart. Long story short, it happened 3 times and I have 4 different tires with different threads... Nothing wrong with it handling or driving

 

You won't notice a difference unless you're at the track

I have different fronts and rears

 

Having worked 8 years for a tire vendor + installer I can 100% say you will be fine. ( on the tread pattern issue)

 

Damn bro you pissed off some chick lol

 

Don't jump to conclusions, Stuart. It could have been a guy.

 

Ur so funny!

But seriously, I'd have to shoot myself before that ever happens
