Correct answer

  • BSi, pero los dos delanteros y los dos traseros al menos deben ser igualesYes, but at least the two front ones and the two rear ones must be the same
Explanation

The rules allow different types of tyre to be mixed, but never on the same axle. This means that on each axle of a vehicle (front and rear) the tyres fitted must be the same. Even so, having different tyres is not recommended, as road holding becomes noticeably worse, especially on wet or icy roads.
