Do All Four Tires Need to Be Replaced at the Same Time?

[KingAnn]

Under normal circumstances, it is better to replace all four tires together for the following reasons: 1. Different tire tread patterns can result in varying levels of traction, affecting the vehicle's grip. Having the same tread pattern on all four tires ensures consistent traction across all wheels. If tires with different tread patterns must be used together, ensure that tires with the same pattern and similar wear are placed on the same axle to avoid performance issues caused by uneven traction. 2. If tires on the same vehicle are rotated regularly, their wear levels should be similar. If one tire becomes unusable, the others are likely in the same condition. 3. Tires have a limited lifespan, typically up to six years. Beyond this period, the risk of tire blowouts increases significantly. Therefore, even if some tires still have good tread, they should be replaced after six years. (Note: If a tire is damaged due to impact, one or two tires can be replaced individually, but ensure that tires on the same axle have matching tread patterns.)
