[VB] mixing tires

[Patrick Luke]

Mixing tire widths isn't a bad thing at all. loads of people do it with the
buses to get the proper look.

even mixing tire sizes 165/70 vs 165/60 is ok as long as it's front to
back. you do not want to have different sizes on the same end unless it's a
spare and very short term.
