is it ok to change the tire size on all four of my tires for my 2007 hyundai santa fe ( I have a set of 4 winter tires on rims with a different size)…will it cause safety probs or cause other probs with the car?

Hi everyone, I’d like to know if the tread pattern has much of an impact in wet road conditions. I recently bought some Toyo tires that had wavy lines that filtered out to the edges. They were excellent tires and gripped well. I now need replacements and was thinking of some “AVON ZR5′s”. They have the same speed rating as the “Toyo’s” but the tread is in straight lines instead – does this mean they are not as good?

Maybe thats where I’m going wrong…. my diesel Audi A6 litereally eats front tyres. From now on I’m buying higher speed rated tyres so that I stop going through them so quickly. Thanks Chris
