very hard to answer without some more detail.

what are the 2 sets of tyres (brand and model)? Do either of them have an arrow on the sidewall (directional) or inside/outside on the sidewall (assymetric).

your car wont explode, no. assuming u mean u have directional tyres and one pair is out of wack, it will simply mean one pair wont disperse water as well as the other, there will also be slight tread rigidity differences. but as i said, the world wont come to an end, slight issues at most, nothing to get ur knickers in a knot.

Cheers, the only problem i've had is a slight wobble at 100km/h. Which never happened with stockies. And have been told by two tyre places that the newer rims are NOT out-of-round or un-balanced.

    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
    • True on both points
    • So there is no other way to remove and install the ball joints then to buy the Frenchys kit?
    • Just to close off this post with the cause of my oil consumption issues. Vertical scoring and glazing at the bottom of cylinder 6. I'm not happy, but at least I finally found something. I'll pull it and get it apart asap. Hopefully I don't need to go one size up in piston. 
    • I finally got around to purchasing an actual articulating borescope. Great tool to have, I've been very impressed vs my old regular inspection camera.  With that being said, sadly I finally found the cause for my oil consumption. I always had the feeling something wasn't right but compression and leak down tests were always perfect and I had already inspected the cylinders. This time i dropped each cylinder to its absolute lowest point and with the better quality camera I found this... Bottom of cylinder 6.  Scoring looks deep and I'm presuming oil getting by caused the glazing. I already spoke with my assembler, and will be dropping it off as soon as I can pull the motor and get it apart. I'm just hoping it's not deep enough to require boring out from 86.5 ->87mm. Pistons aren't cheap.
