So my front right tire caught a nail and when they were patching it, the saw a bubble.

I want to replace the tire but is it okay to replace just the right tire? But wouldn't it be uneven from the left to right? Since one will be new and the other one has less thread?

Or do people usually change both front tires if replacing them?

My front left tire still has 75% thread left and i just thought it will be a waste of money if I replace them both.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks.

why don't you replace both and keep the current left tire for backup? that's what i did

Forgot to say that I am low on $ at the moment.

Even if I replace both front tires, i will replace it with Falken 452 instead of the Toyo's I have now. 1 Toyo tires + 40 bucks can buy 2 Falken 452s which is my budget.

So the option I have now is replace it with another Toyo tire or I can replace both front tires with Falken 452s.

Question is, if I do only replace the damaged tire with a new tire, will there be any uneven thread wear since the other left side has less thread?

of course there will be uneven wear, right now one wears out more than a new tire already

but it's also likely that you will get pull on your steering / car coz' of the different tread wear

thanks..i am going to change both tires. However, should I rotate the rear tires to the front and mount the NEW falkens on the rear? or should I just mount the new tires on the front??

new tires always to rear, unless you run staggered sizes...
