Is it OK to replace just one tire?

Unfortunately, not all tires are repairable or worth saving. Replacing only one tire mostly depends on how much tread is remaining on the opposite tire on the same axle. The tread depth of brand-new tires is typically 10/32 or 12/32 in inches of tread. Therefore, the safest thing to do is to replace them both.

Why is only one tire worn out?

If they are over-inflated, the middle of the tire is the only part in contact with the road, and the pressure of the tire can cause the vehicle to bounce slightly, causing further damage to the tire. If the wheels are not properly aligned, one tire may be subject to more wear and tear than the other three.

Is it OK to replace 2 tires at a time?

Install Them on the Back. All tires wear differently depending on how, where, what you drive. If two of your tires wear out faster, it may only be necessary to replace those two instead of replacing all four.

Do front tires wear faster than rear?

Under normal driving circumstances with a front-wheel drive vehicle (passenger cars, minivans, etc.), the front tires will wear at a slightly higher rate than the rear tires. Front tire wear is further advanced because the front tires handle the bulk of the steering and braking forces.

Do front and back tires have to match?

Matching Wheels & Tires on Each Axle On a 2-axle vehicle, the two front tires should match and the two rear tires should match. Rear tires do not necessarily have to match the pair of front tires. If you continually use mismatched tires and wheels they will wear out unevenly and can cause problems later down the road.
