    Ok lang to change just the front pair or rear pair of tires.

    ok lng yun, yung importante laging mas bago yung front tires kaysa sa rear.
    kung rear lng naman yung papalitan mu ilipat mu na lang yung front tires mo sa likod at yung sa harap na lng ang palitan.

    there are some who are saying na mas safe kung ang tires na mas malalim ang threads ay nasa likod nakalagay.

    ang importante ay ang by pair ang palit.

    Kung kulang pa budget okay lang iyong sa harap muna at pag may budget na iyong likod naman na parehong brand na rin sa harap.

    Pati nga rin ako two tires at a time lang kung magpalit, for budgetary reasons. Usually mas mabilis mag-wear out yung front tires ko kesa rear tires.

    Makuha ko lang yung separation pay ko, I'm going to have all of my current tires replaced, kasama yung spare. Phased out na daw kasi yung stock tires ng sasakyan ko, so I'll have to refresh all five tires with new ones.

    From what I heard, this applies to rear wheel drive vehicles... now if the vehicle is front wheel drive, then it's better to place the new tires on the front for better traction.

    It would really depend on the situation. If the failure is traction, then it would be best at the front. But for tire blowout, the newer tires should be at the back. If the front tires blow out, you can still steer and be in control. If the rear blows out, it would be out of control. Marami na din nangyari sa star toll na rear tires nag blow out and the vehicle turned upside down..

    No. Always, always, ALWAYS put newer tires on the rear axle.

    This is the advice of experts, the advice of tire manufacturers and the advice of car manufacturers. Without exception.

    Whatever car you're driving, having bald tires in the back means a spin-out.

    Trucks spin if they have bald rear tires. Jeeps spin if they have bald rear tires. Front wheel drive cars spin if they have bald rear tires (from personal experience).

    Bald front tires? Braking distances get longer, but you can still stop. You have more understeer, but it's better knowing you have a lack of grip than thinking you still have control and only finding out that isn't true when you're sliding sideways across the road with a ten ton truck barreling towards you.

    Now, you'll want to swap your worn tires around when you rotate, but if your tread depth is below 4/32nds of an inch, you should always have the worse tires in front to provide for better traction in the rain.

    Thank you very much

    This is why it's nice to hang around here when there is nothing better to do at home.

    I always put tires with more thread in front for the reason FWD yung car ko and para po pantay yung pagkakalbo nung gulong tapos sabay palit na po both front and rear tires. I just find it more convenient that way + same pa yung thread lahat ng tires. I just drive in a moderate speed when it's rainy to avoid accidents (spin)

    I do ask casa to rotate my tires every PMS.

    ^^^ kaso pag nag rotate ka na ng tires, sa likod na mapupunta ang nasa harap.

    December last year, ang new tires ng ZZ ay sa likod ikinabit. ng nagpa rotate ako. nasa harap na. OK lang kasi makakapal pa ang mga threads. more than 60% pa ang old tires. :D

    Where do I install new tires if I only buy two?

    If you’re replacing only two tires, be sure to have the new tires installed on your vehicle’s rear axle. Here’s why:

    • New tires will provide better wet grip than your half-worn tires.
    • When new tires are installed on the rear, it helps reduce the potential for your vehicle to fishtail or hydroplane in wet conditions.

    You can spin out at just 30-40 km/h in the rain if a pedestrian suddenly steps out in front of you.
