Blew a tire - need to replace all four?


Recommended Posts

One of my back tires blew out this morning. Big gash on the inside wall.

 

I know that replacing one tire is bad for something like a 4X4 pickup, but what about an AWD Sube?

 

Any problem replacing just the one tire? Maybe just two? Others are only about halfway into their tread life.

 

EDIT: ( it's 93 Legacy with manual trans. )

Replace 4. Lots of discussion on it in the past threads.

 

One option is to match the tire brand, model, size, and have it shaved to the same wear circumferance (+/- 1/4") as the other three. Only practical if the rest of the tires are pretty new, otherwise, don't bother.

 

Don't skimp here, you will trash the AWD.
