Collected the 2019 Vitara SZ5 from Brum yesterday...glad I had Apple Car Play to get me out of and around Spaghetti junction ...all new to me, as were 4 lanes of stop/ start traffic on the M6, and 3 notable rear end shunts within 20 miles. Pootling along at 50/60 then traffic stops. Apart from a few individuals.
Rear Conti EcoContacts have plenty of tread, but the one on the front is worn down a little to 3.0/3.5mm. Tyre on the opposite side has a totally different tread pattern, but more tread, a Triangle Sportex TSH11.
Im minded to get two new tyres...put the new ones on the rear, move the ContiEcoContacts to the front and fit Bridgestone Turanza T005 at the back.
I think it’s frowned upon to fit all season tyres on one axle and normal summer tyres on another. Ideally I’d fit 4 all season tyres but unnecessary given the condition and tread left on the Contis. The Skoda dealer put a new MOT on a few days ago, and gave it an oil change, so pretty much good to go once I get the space saver kit.
