    Hello
    I have a question, can I put 185/60 R15 tires on one axle and 185/65 R15 tires on the other. Will it not interfere with driving and whether a diagnostician will not find fault with the review. What do you think about it ?
    Thanks for the answers.

    The 3% difference is not that big. With a bit more ABS he went crazy.

    It's not worth it, now the tires are full of stimulants, all new. Just go to an ordinary vehicle disassembly station and you can even buy there if you don't want new ones.

    The difference may not be that big, but the ABS can go crazy.

    They must be on one axis identical tires. Even the tread must be the same.
    PZU paid me compensation for replacing a good tire only because I had a letter from the manufacturer that it no longer produces tires with the tread of the other damaged tire.

    Hello.
    Buddy Waldek 6530 size 185 / 60-15 and 185 / 65-15 are not interchangeable sizes.
    I advise against fitting these two sizes to one vehicle.
    An acceptable replacement for 185 / 65-15 is 195 / 60-15 and the currently rare 205 / 55-15, while when it comes to the size 185 / 60-15, 175 / 65-15 or possibly 195 / 55-15 can be used.
    The era of Fiat Uno and similar cars has ended, and here the drivers assumed what they could get their hands on and the car dutifully drove.
    Currently, in cars, electronic systems such as ABS and ESP exclude this type of freedom.

    Thank you very much for the advice. I obediently listened and I do not buy these tires, although they were at a good price, but why bother? I will look for the ones I already have, i.e. 185/60 R15. Thanks again.

    Added after 12 [minutes]:

    But in terms of such an explanation, these tires of different sizes were not supposed to have two 60's on one axle, for example on the rear, and two 65's on the front, and the ABS system will also go crazy?

    I wrote about this case, i.e. 2 different sizes on 2 axes.
    The ABS system can interpret these differences in the height of the tire profile as skidding.
    Therefore, it so happens that these lower tires will spin 2 times the size faster, or the larger.
    There is now a really huge selection of tires and it is better to buy a more expensive Chinese tire than an older or retread used one.
    I strongly advise against buying the cheapest Chinese brands because their quality is, to put it mildly, poor and I mean workmanship, not driving parameters.

    No matter what car. There are some universal rules that apply to any model.

    It makes a difference because cars react differently to different wheels depending on which ones are bigger in front or behind.

    I dutifully write back it is the Opel Combo 1.7CDTI year 2005.
    Thank you once again for the explanation, Colleague Kenworth 18 and I will buy the same as I have. Those that got me are new ones brought from Germany, but if they are of a different size, let someone else buy them.

    With Opel it will not pass, it is very annoying with different tires.

    There is one more important point. Every modern car is homologated with one or more tire sizes, and their list is usually found on the pillar at the driver's door. Installing tires of sizes that do not comply with the sizes permitted by the manufacturer results in "interfering with the elements responsible for safety". In the event of an accident, there is usually no problem with the payment of third party liability, but in the case of AC, the insurer has the right to refuse to pay compensation.

    Smaller to the front, bigger to the back, it shouldn't be a problem. With such a difference, there is no right to go crazy.

    Hello, I will write my experience with tires. At the front I put on 195/65/15 I got from a friend and the back 185/65/15 and I was tempted to replace the wider ones for the rear. The ABS indicator started after driving a distance of about 15 km, and additionally from the manual I thought that something happened, the brakes worked normally, the fluid was so I think I will go to the mechanic, but the mechanic did not come up with anything wise, he said that the computer shows that the brakes are OK. After a few days I changed the wheels back as they were and the ABS does not turn on. An interesting situation at the front they can be wider and so far there is no one to explain why is this so ??

    These sizes differ not only in the width of the tires, but also in their height.
    The smaller size that was in front was read by the ABS sensors as skidding and hence the problems. The car should have all four wheels with the same tire size, and then nothing like that happens.

    Thanks for the answer, it seemed to me that the difference is only in the width, then I have to buy 2 185 for the front, then cheers.

    The profile, i.e. the height of the tire, is expressed in% and not in millimeters.
    Whatever math formula not to use, 65% of 195 will always be greater than 65% of 185.

    Today I have a b 1.0 petrol engine, I have 13 which were so ahead and 14 one winter and the other summer back. And I think that there will be no problems because when I had 1 13 and 1 14 in the front and 2 13 in the back, the front 13 cut me off from the inside. I wonder if such a system can be, or if my ass will not be flying somewhere on the bend

    The wheels of one axle must have one tire size, rims have a tread in accordance with the Polish law code.

    As for the summer winter, I was a corsair in the winter 13 in the summer and it got away.

    For the winter I did not have to replace ... ?.

    Conversely, no one would want his tires to wear out when driving uphill.

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the implications of using different tire sizes (185/60 R15 and 185/65 R15) on a single vehicle axle. Participants express concerns about the potential impact on vehicle safety and performance, particularly regarding the ABS system, which may misinterpret the size difference as skidding. It is generally advised against mixing tire sizes on the same vehicle, as modern cars are designed with specific tire size homologations for safety. The consensus is that all tires on one axle should be identical, including tread patterns, to avoid complications. The Opel Combo 1.7CDTI is specifically mentioned as a model that may experience issues with different tire sizes.
