Replacement
It can be super frustrating when you don't get as much out of our tires as you'd hoped but, when wear becomes especially advanced, your tires should be replaced. We're often asked: what if my tires are unevenly worn? Do I have to replace all of them? The short answer is yes. In many uneven wear circumstances, replacing all four tires at one time is the much better path in both the near- and long-term. Fitting two brand new tires with full tread depths could create an imbalance with the older set, causing dangerous traction or handling issues. In some cases, two new tires can be fitted but this is highly dependent on the circumstance—in that case, you should seek out advice from a trained technician. heed the advice of your tire technician.Pro tip: Rotating your tires gives your mechanic a good opportunity to inspect each one for damage, check their air pressure and tread depth, and have them rebalanced if you’re noticing any issues with vibration or underinflation.
