Tyre thread pattern

[Iylia H]

I think it's normal to put different thread tyre pattern for front and rear tyres.But then, till I saw official pictures of an x5 by Hamann.They seem to put different tyre pattern on the left and right-hand side tyres.Is there any real benefit for this, or they just simply put the tyres for the sake of the photo-shoot.well i dnt knw how to post pictures in here.. but here are the links for the pictures.http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs574.snc3/31324_10150194420065538_101337835537_12510855_5267973_n.jpghttp://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs534.ash1/31324_10150194420070538_101337835537_12510856_704830_n.jpghttp://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs594.snc3/31324_10150194420080538_101337835537_12510857_371793_n.jpg

Hamann sometimes put different wheels on each side of the car for the photoshoot so that probably explains why the tyres are mismatched.
