Used Tire Replacement- tread mismatch ok? Sign In

2007

I have a front tire that needs to be replaced and have received conflicting information. Costco tires recommended I replace all four which I am hoping to avoid. The front tires measure just under 7/32, the rear are at about 8/32-9/32.

The tires are discontinued so I can't buy two new ones.

I found two used ones, one of them at 8/32 and 9/32. I am considering ordering both and putting them on the front but am worried about the treads being 1/32 off from each other. Does anyone have any advice? Should I just bite the bullet and replace them all?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

There is a rule about matching all tires on an AWD vehicle but 1/32 of tread difference isn't enough to cause a problem.

Even a car that started with four identical tires will wear them unevenly and end up with at least that amount of difference. Just make sure that's all the difference is.
