Should All Four Tires Be Replaced at the Same Time?

[VonAbel]

It is recommended to replace all four tires of a car simultaneously because they share the same tread pattern and wear level, ensuring consistent grip across all four wheels. If tires with different tread patterns and wear levels must be used together, ensure that tires with the same pattern and wear level are placed on the same axle to avoid performance issues caused by inconsistent grip. Below are some key points regarding tire replacement: 1. Replace tires based on whether they have reached their service life or wear limit, whichever comes first. 2. If a tire sidewall shows bulging, it must be replaced immediately as this type of damage cannot be reliably repaired. 3. Always ensure the front tires are in the best condition. 4. If a single tire is damaged, consider using the spare tire first, provided it is a full-size spare. Otherwise, try to replace it with a tire of the same brand and tread pattern. 5. If none of the above options are feasible, you may consider using a tire from a different brand, but it is best to install it on the rear axle. During vehicle inspections, photos are usually taken of the front tires. If selling or transferring the car, ensure all four tires are of the same brand and tread pattern.
