Tires

[jdawg90 10+ year member]

my car has 195/60/15 tires. The ones on it are touring tempest hr 195/60/15. The fronts have atleast 70% and are wearing evenly. The back right is bald on the inside (low pressure) and has flat spots. The back left has flat spots but not nearly as bad. (yeah I was being a ******* with the handbrake). I'm gonna replace both back tires. Should I get the same type or go for something better? Can rotating two different types of tires cause any issues? I just want to get new backs and have the set of 4 last for as long as I can, when they are done I will just get a new set of 4.

Advice?

Any reccomendations?

Car is fwd. SO rotate old ones to back and get new front ones.

One of the backs is shot and the other isn't looking that good. I just want to replace both of the worn tires so that I have a set of tires that will last me a while. If I just replaced the one that is fucked, it the other back tire would need to be replaced when the other 3 would be in good shape.

If I replace both bad tires, I will have 2 new tires and 2 with 70+%. I'd like to have a set of tires that will last a while, and when it's time for new ones, I'll just get a set of 4. As opposed to replacing them as they wear out. The fronts should last a long time, so if I replace both backs, it should be a while before I need a new set. I don't want to just be replacing individual tires as they wear out.

That being said, I would move the 2 back tires that were replaced to the front and move the fronts that are in good condition to the back.

Replace in pairs, new ones go on the front.

that's what I was thinking.

Is there any reason to get the same tires as the front?

General Tire, best price for performance ratio. Generic brand of Continental.

Doesn't really matter afaik. Unless its AWD. Iirc, in that case you want to replace all 4 same time, all matching

Ok cool, I'll just grab a pair of kuhmo's or continentals, an alignment, and the fronts balanced. It's fwd.
