bobiam is correct but in my case The Tire Racks recommendation for snow tires for the SLK230 was absolutely dangerous. Add to that the fact the tires were the same brand and Tire Rack said " these new Blizzaks should be compatible with the Blizzaks you have on the front.
As one of the other posters offered, the front and rear of the car acted like they weren't connected to one another and the car wanted to change ends, if you made any sudden turns with the steering wheel.
Totally wrong information from them and I won't do business with them again. Their recommendation was dangerous to say the least.
So if you want to mismatch brands go right ahead it's your life, just let me know what roads you take so I can go a different way!
