I'd never mix tyres - I did it once to my cost - 99% of the time it's fine, but when you do reach the limit, one set will break away before the other, so you change the handling characteristics of the car. The 'problem' is exagerated by the weather as well

Spend about 330 quid and get the Vredstein Sessanta's instead, leaps ahead of the falkens for not much more

I have the Falkens and haven't tried the Sessantas, but based upon comments I have heard I will probably try them for my next set of tyres. The Falkens are great tyres though and you can't go wrong with them unless you drive like a tw@t
