Can I replace just the rear tires?
When replacing only two tires, we recommend mounting the new rubber on the rear axle. This is because having fresh tires on the rear helps provide more traction and reduces the risk of hydroplaning. This is true even when the front tires are worn.
When replacing only 2 tires where should they go?
When tires are replaced in pairs, the new tires should always be installed on the rear axle, and the partially worn tires should be moved to the front.
Where do new tires go on rear wheel drive?
According to Tire Review, new tires should always go in the back. Rear tires provide the vehicle stability, and if they have little tread, then stability is lost.
Do you have to replace all tires if one is bad?
It’s always best to replace all 4 tires at the same time. This is because all 4 tires spin independently of one another, and different tread depths and/or styles can cause them to spin at different speeds. That could potentially damage the drive train, and possibly affect an indirect TPMS system if the vehicle has one.

Should you replace two tires at a time?
When replacing one tire: The new tire is paired with whatever tire on your vehicle has the deepest tread depth. Then, both tires are mounted on the rear axle. Also, if replacing only one or two tires, it is recommended that the tires are placed on the rear to prevent hydroplaning during wet road conditions.
Is it okay to replace only 2 tires?
Following the routine rotations will optimize a tire’s tread life and will wear all four tires evenly. And when replacing only two, we recommend installing the new tires in the rear and placing the (older but still decent) rear tires in the front. This may help prevent a spinout or oversteer condition on slick roads.
Where do you put two tires when replacing one?

How big of a tire do I need to replace on my car?
Let’s Recap: If your tires’ tread depth will be within 4/32” of each other, you can get away with replacing just one or two tires. If you drive an AWD vehicle, the tires must be within 2/32” of each other. But you should always check the vehicle owner’s manual to see what the manufacturer recommends.
Do you put new tires on front or rear axle?
