Technical Quick tyre question

[Nick600]

I have seriously shoddy rubber on my Sei, they are four different brands, one rear has an enormous high spot, the other rear has a seriously cracked side wall and one of the fronts is too big 165/65. I can't believe I didn't notice this, it looks like a clown car wheel. Could having one larger tyre damage the diff? It makes me angry how badly people treat these little cars

I found 4 Nankang XR611 for £112.20 delivered. Is that good? I can get 4 Michelins from Costco for a bit over £200 (fitted)...I'm tempted...what do you think?

I doubt it's damaged the diff (you'd probably hear it if it had!).

Both are good prices.

The whole point of a diff is that it allows one wheel to turn faster than the other. It will not have done any harm, however gearbags are rarely serviced. Do have a check of the oil quality and quantity.

Cheers
