Mixing up tyre makes

[Matt99man]

So I put on two new Michelin tyres on my 3 series just before the mot front and back drivers side. Now my Bmw dealers raised the point that I should not be mixing brands on the same axle. I have prelli on the passenger side. Just wanted to know everyone's thoughts?

BMW can be very sensitive to tyres especially the x drive which they recommend you replace like for like and in pairs.
But generally not ideal having a mismatch pair on but both decent brands so shouldn't be a problem.

Having had 2 x 3ers & 2 x 5ers and found them to be very tyre sensitive, latterly I only ever fitted in pairs to the rear, scrubbed them in & then fitted the new ones on the front.

I'm probably best swapping them for the same axle then perhaps. Gutted though I'm going to have to get a garage to change the tyre due to the rotation!
