Tires... What to do...?
Hi. I noticed the original owner of my car curbed one of his front tires and I plan on getting it changed this weekend because it cracked the tire (slight scratch on rim) but mainly looks like he bumped the tire hard and it a 2 inch long cut which I don't want to risk a blow out/bubble. Here's my dilemma.
1. My car came with two new back tires and front tires are 50% tread. If I change a new one on the front I'm afraid it'll be off balance for traction so MAYBE change both the front tires?
2. Should I change all 4 tires to have equal tread? My car is a RWD so I figured it wouldn't be a problem if I change the two front tires only, at least the back two still match...
Thanks in advance for any advice!
