tire or tires?tHe StEeleR 08-06-2005, 10:11 AM Well, heres what happened, I was at a friends house and left my gagt outside overnight , some fucker slashed my right rear tire. Im wondering if i have to buy both rear tires now , or wether i can get away with buying one new one. My tread depth is about 3/32nds less than brand new tires, Thanks , ctesla 08-06-2005, 11:26 AM one will suffice. a matching one is preferred, as a mis-matched tread will slightly "drag" and/or possibly make a different road noise, but being on the rear of the vehicle (since it is front wheel drive/steer/ and brake) it is not TOO critical. if you decide to shop for a decent set (pair) of new or used, save your rear good tire, as it may come in handy swapping out one of the matching fronts down the road... xeroinfinity 08-06-2005, 12:58 PM Fukin vandals! people who do these things are about as low as a human could go. its not like your car can defend it's self. But replacing the one is better than replaceing all four. It should work fine with the one replacment. I had 12k mls on a set and one developed a sidewall defect,large bubble, and that wasnt good. really eat up the other three rather quick. they were Good year RS's they sucked in the rain/snow but were great for burn outs on dry land. I now use Good year Assurance, they're great all around wet/dry & snow. an 80,000 mile tire for around 180$ each.thats for a big 225/50r 16". alphalanos 08-06-2005, 01:00 PM One will be ok, but you really should get two. Try to at least match it. tHe StEeleR 08-06-2005, 10:27 PM Oh i plan to get a brand new tire matching the ones on my car im just trying to decide wether or not to do both rear tires , so that the tread depth is even on either side on the rear...... I have 3 Bfgoodrich Radial T/A's right now.... and one jackstand as its sitting in my garage ...... Fucking punks vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
