Can only one tire be replaced for a small car?

Only one tire can be replaced for a small car. The following precautions should be noted when replacing tires: Diagonal method: When tightening the screws, always use the diagonal method. Do not tighten them sequentially in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to avoid deformation of the tire due to uneven force. Installation direction: Pay attention to the installation direction of the tire during replacement. Asymmetric pattern tires have markings: "outside" indicates the outer side, and "inside" indicates the inner side. For unidirectional pattern tires, ensure the arrow on the tire aligns with the rolling direction of the tire. Installation position: It is best to install the new tire on the rear axle, especially in areas with frequent rainfall. If a heavily worn old tire is placed on the rear axle, it will definitely affect the drainage performance of the rear wheels, increasing the risk of hydroplaning or skidding during rainy weather. Specific details: Additionally, before installation, always double-check that the vehicle is stationary and the handbrake is engaged. It is also important to inspect the tread condition and tire pressure of the spare tire during each vehicle maintenance to be prepared for emergencies.
