In most cases, it’s better to replace all four car tires, however, some mechanics recommend to replace two tires due to the of lack of enough funds to replace all the four and depending on the tread level of the two tires you plan to keep on the used cars. Replacing a pair of tires will leave your car with two tires with superior traction and two tires with mediocre traction. The danger of not replacing all four is that if the older tires in the front have no traction, it makes it difficult to turn the car in rainy condition due to the unbalanced car suspension. It can also increase the change of fishtailing or hydroplaning.
For all-wheel and front-wheel drive Dubai cars, all four tires must have the same tread design and be of the same make and model. In case you only change two tires, all four tires should still have tread depths within 4/32 inches of each other. If the customer had two rear tires at 3/32 and the fronts at 5/32, it’s advised to get four new tires. This is because the replacement of the two worst tires will leave us with 5/32 and 11/32 which is too big a difference that can risk differential damage hence causing accidents.
There are times you can get away with buying two new tires. In these cases, the new tires should be placed on the back of the car for better steering. If the better set of tires that you’re not replacing is on the back, have your mechanic move those to the front. Drivers should also be strict on rotating tires every oil change. This can help to keep the tread wear as even as possible. Having the car’s alignment checked every year, even if the car is driving straight can help ensure the best performance of the vehicle hence increasing its car valuation since vehicles off alignment can cause serious tire wear.
