Do I Need to Replace Two Tires at the Same Time?
1 Answers
It is best to replace two tires together. The differences between replacing only one tire and replacing two tires are as follows: 1. If only one tire is replaced, due to tire wear, the tread pattern of the old tire is thinner than that of the new tire, resulting in a relatively smaller tire diameter. If the thickness of the tires on both sides is different, it may cause the vehicle to pull to one side while driving. Additionally, the friction of the new tire's tread pattern is greater than that of the old tire, which can easily lead to uneven braking force during braking. 2. Replacing both tires together ensures the same tread pattern, which better guarantees smooth driving. When mechanics replace both tires, they also perform dynamic balance correction to ensure even force distribution among all four tires. This helps maintain equal weight distribution on the vehicle body, and during braking and turning, identical tread patterns on both sides enhance driving safety and improve fuel efficiency.
