Mixing tyre compounds? Yokohama A048

[Mini182]

Has anyone had experience of running different compounds of A048's at the same time?

I have a set of soft and a set of medium.

As the fronts are worked much harder I was thinking if it would make sense to run medium on the front and soft on the back?

Yes that's fine lots even run different tyres front and rear

Havent used AO48 but have used 888's with a mix of soft and medium and as you said medium on front and soft on the back is the way to go.
However I would ( and have ) reversed this set up in wet conditions though ( very wet cadwell park ).

Medium front soft back Ao48s is what my Dad runs as a permanent set up on his R5 race car.

Perfectly ok to mix compounds front and rear and you may even find like we did this is a much better way to go in terms of tyre wear and also lap times.

makes perfect sense if you cant get heat into one axle

Sounds like a plan then.

Medium on the front, soft on the back.
