seems highly possible that it could be the T-type as you did not mention about the spare tyre
in that case, may be best to keep the best 2 of the Sumitomo tyres for the front and get 2 new tyres for the rear
remember to put tyres of the same brand, construction and tread patterns on the same axle

The spare tire is still the toyo one, i believe is the stock ones.
I think i will go to tyre shop and seek their advice. If not i probably will just make do with the current ones albeit different brands. I am generally not a fast driver. Usually 90km/h max :-p
Maybe half to 1 year later i change all out.... coz it is really a waste to throw away the tires as the threads are quite deep...

When the speedo hits 120kmh, the car start to get a little shaky. Could this be related to different tyres placed on the same axis?

My deduction is that different brands, hence different thread patterns, is likely to affect driving/braking performance, more pronounced at high speed. It is not something that you can immediately feel it - like car shaking...
If shaking, maybe is wheel alighnment out etc... it is afterall a rented car, "whacked" by many ppl before :bleh:
