Thought I would just post my experience of fitting new tyres to my 2019 GT LINE S. When i bought it was sourced from a mobility early return a I needed a 2. litre diesel for towing, as 1.6 is not heavt enough. they told me it had been through the workshop and I could view it and I noticed it had 4 new tyres, on closer inspecton the two front were hankook and on the rear a continental on one side and nexen on the other! I told the salesman not acceptable to have two dirrefent makes/tread pattern on same axle, but he didnt believe me. Ended up the workshop manager agreed that the manual says an AWD should have all 4 tyres the same, but they could not source hankkok so ended up with 2 nexen on the rear and I was assured this was OK. 2 years later fronts needed changing after 17,000 miles (rears are still at 5mm), so I went for nexen as they have a good pedigree and are resonably priced and OMG what a difference in handling and much quieter, the car feels totlay different. So anybody out there with and AWD always insist on all 4 tyres the same, which is as recommended in the handbook
