Tires and Wheels problem
2002 Buick Rendezvous 80,000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I want to know if I can use 2 different size tires on my car as long as the 2 front ones are the same and the 2 back ones are the same. Specifically, can I use 215/70/16 on the front tires and 235/70/16 for the back tires?

It will cause poor fuel mileage,ABS problems, and if it's all wheel drive it will cause damage to the AWD rear axle pump.
