Question do you need to change all 4 tyres at same time or just tyres on the same axle?

as per title (possible the longest thread title in existance)

Front tyres are nearly at the legal limit, but the rears are fine, I got 2 replacement tyres from blackircles.com but havent had them fitted yet. Just want to know If I am okay just changing the 2 on the same axle?

Yes changing in pairs is OK. I tend to rotate my tyres around from one corner to the next until they're all evenly worn then do all four in one go. But yes most people find the fronts wear before the rears so replace them in pairs.

Don't rotate or change in pairs.... Wear em all down till they are all as bald as that coot in the Benny Hill programes that Benny used to slap on the top of the head. / Just dont report me to the fuzz with what i said. My dads a Chief Inspector. /
