When towing a trailer in snow.
When heavy loads are being carried.
When each type is fitted on a different axle.
When driving in slippery road conditions.

Explantion: In general, you should fit the same type of tyres all round the vehicle. However if you need to fit a mix of cross-ply and radials, the tyres on any axle should be of the same type.
