Hi, i've had my dearly beloved type r now for 7 months and she's due some tyres do you have to replace all 4 at once (being 4wd) or 2 at a time.

Hi. Really in wrong forum, should be in Technical, Wheels etc. You will get answers here but do a search in Wheels etc. There are differing views on tyres so you need to read threads and make up your own mind.

You should replace all four at once but it isnt as critical as on, say, a Calibre four wheel drive, where a tiny difference in circumferance could bugger up the transmission.

In future Id move them around every so often to equalise wear.

Respectfully, watch the old caps lock isn't on when you don't mean it.

You should be able to get them supplied, fitted and balanced for between £80-£95 each inc vat

I got mine from Kwikfit for £80 each on 16" wheels

Note dont take the first price kwikfit say- haggle
