Just use them and don't worry about it Marcus.

There are that many cars out there with miss-matched tyres on, and it wo'nt make any difference to insurance claims or whatever.
As long as they all have legal tread depth, they are fine to use, unless they are over 10 years old, in which case they should be turfed.

if you are having oversteer issues it might be due to something else?
Same. Going from the Toyo T1Rs to Federal 595RSs got rid of the snappy tail in my car.

Yeah, I reckon I'll just slap them on this weekend. The one mismatched tyre is pretty low on tread, but that's the point anyway. Once they go I'll be replacing them with R specs for track use only anyway.
