I don't recall seeing anyone say that the DSC would be turned OFF?
Yes you can use any size tire you want that is true. 4 different brands, 4 different tread types, what ever.
However the cars computer is not capable nor is it designed to factor in the size of each tire to work properly, it assumes all are equal.
Just as you can use Dishwashing soap in the shower, it may work, but it is not going to give you the optimum performance your body needs.
The question is not whether it would work, it is simply advised against because it does not help the vehicle, and can in fact introduce strange effects or added stress into the cars systems, DSC, Traction, steering, AWD, etc... making it perform NOT AS DESIGNED.
I fail to see the logic in scrimping or using inferior tires, unmatched treads, unmatched sizes on the most important part of your car.
Agreed. Dishwasher soap will possibly cause skin irritation although I couldn't prove that.
MD, the question as I see it is whether the OP could buy the wheels and tires described in his original post and fit them in to his vehicle. The general jist of the reply was no but I am saying that as long as he matches the tread depth across the axle then he most definitely could. Now you are stating that mixing brands and tread depths (I assume you don't really mean sizes as that was never mooted) will cause the various systems to not perform as designed and that is just the kind of sweeping statement that I have trouble with because you don't know that for sure. Would I do it? No, but I happen to know from people that design these things that they have a built in degree of tolerance.
