I think I have picked up a puncture in one of my rear tyres

As they will need replacing soon, I dont think it will be repairable

What are the best tyres to replace the rear with?

Currently the car has Bridgestone - S02A front and rear.

IIRC you cant have mixed brands on a 4WD car - is this true?

Any advice - much appreciated

That's right you shouldn't mix brands/types of tyres.....irrespective of whether it's 4wd or not. So unless you are planning to replace the lot I suggest you stick with the same N-rated Bridgestones. Also it's probably worth mentioning that it is recommended to replace both tyres on the same axle if wear difference is quite significant.

Get a new pair of rears to match the fronts (so SO2A's again in the same N rating you have at the front).

Ended up getting a full set of Pirelli P ZERO for £606
