Should You Replace Tires in Pairs?
1 Answers
It is recommended to replace tires in pairs. However, specific conditions should be considered: 1. If the car is new and has been driven for a short distance, only the problematic tire needs to be replaced, as the tires on the same axle will have similar wear. 2. If the tires have been driven for tens of thousands of kilometers but do not yet need replacement, and only one tire has an issue, replacing just one tire can cause uneven height, vehicle bumpiness, or steering pull at higher speeds. In this case, it is best to replace both tires on the axle. 3. If the repair shop does not have the same brand or model of tire for the car, replacing a pair temporarily is acceptable, but for long-term driving, both pairs should be replaced.
