What are they?
Also how little are you driving on them? Or are you getting them off donor vehicles

I'd say that you should get your tracking checked (unless the garage did it already) since you have lowered the car, then you'll know that the steering is working at its best and you can get a feeling for the tyres you've got on now. You can check the tyre pressures are correct too as Ziggy said.

Then just use up the tyres as they are... if you're doing a fair mileage you should get through them OK unless they are rock hard, in which case you'll soon lose confidence as the weather gets worse. Obviously the fronts will be the ones to wear out, the rears are important but they don't do much work.

Ideally you would wear out the older tyres first, there are codes on the sidewall that give the week and year of manufacture (e.g. 32 11 = week 32 of 2011).

See how you get on then make a decision.

My friend who fitted the springs did the Geometry and tracking too (see attached).

The Arrowspeeds have good tread so will probably just replace the other two.
Thanks chaps.

i had my tracking done done when i had new tyres, but i couldnget get the track rod off - so i had to cut it off

So no idea how bad my tracking was tbh....

But iirc
Fwd want a little toe out - as when they take drive, the naturally pull in
RWD want a little toe in - as when the move, the naturally get pulled out

But the rear of the car is gonna cause the car to steer a little bit, might be crabbing a touch, but you cant alter a punto's rear arse at all
