Default Tires

My sidewall got a bulge and I need to replace my passenger front tire. I was thinking that I just buy 2 tires instead of one so the front pair will have equal tread and everything. I had just gotten the suspension done a week ago so I hope it will be fine.

The tread has wore unevenly on my tires sadly!

What do you guys think? 2 new for the front or just replace the one?

Depends on how old the other one is. If it's not that old then just one, but if it's old then might as well do both.

The tread has been worn out unevenly because those idiots(goodyear) did a pathetic job of doing the suspension. So now less than a year on these tires and the wear on the outside part of the tire is so bad that they need to be replaced soon anyway. I am more concerned with the car driving straight though.

Get new tires, then get an alignment.

I will need another alignment even though I just got one a week ago?
