Rims are 225/45/17 and tyres are rated 94W but most outlets only offer 94Y - is it unwise to mix two Ys at the front with 2 Ws on the rear? Also, to confuse matters further, the T1R seems to have given way to the TR1. I prefer not to mix types or brands but don't know whether this difference is material enough...
