Although I generally change tyres when they reach 3mm, because performance in very wet conditions starts to suffer IMO.

I would wait until each set wears down, then replace them with a more common choice of Porsche rubber, say, SO2 replacements (SO3?) or Goodyear Eagle F1s.

Suggestion · Original poster
the cheapest option of getting a matching set would be to buy some zz1 fronts,is this a good idea or should i wait untill they are all more worn and buy full set of so2's or similar.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

As long as you are not mixing on the same axle, you shouldn't have too much of a problem. Sure, it will oversteer/understeer more than when it left the factory maybe, but this will normally be noticeable only in extreme conditions (this can include rain if you drive a 911!).
Change them when ready, but I wouldn't go for the Avons in the longterm, unless you are talking ACB10 racing rubber or something daft
I'm with Domster on this one - but replace 'em as soon as is practicable fiscally. (i.e. let 'em wear down a bit...)
I would never compromise on tyres or brakes in *any* way, though. If the car doesn't go *you* call the RAC. If the car doesn't stop *they* call an ambulance.
What's the car they're fitted to...?
The legal limit is 1.6mm isn't it? Although I generally change tyres when they reach 3mm, because performance in very wet conditions starts to suffer IMO.
the tyres on my car are all avons, front 205/55 zr16 (5.5mm tread),rear 225/50 zr16 (7mm tread)
i presume these sizes are correct ?
however the fronts are turbospeed cr228's
rear's are zz1's
will this mixture of tread patterns affect the handling?
the cheapest option of getting a matching set would be to buy some zz1 fronts,is this a good idea or should i wait untill they are all more worn and buy full set of so2's or similar.
not long had the car , so not exactly rolling in it at the moment.
