relentless Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Couple of tyres - 235/50/17. Part worns possibly. To replace a puntured Bridgestone Potenza RE040 rear nearside. Not wise to replace just the one is it? West Mids area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbs Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 No problem changing only one with the same make of tyre of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 No problem changing only one with the same make of tyre of course I disagree. If the one is quite worn and the other quite new there will be a difference in grip across the axle which would have a negative effect on handling and possibly TCS.

relentless Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 theres around 6mm tread - only done 7000 miles, so maybe i can get away with just the one if someones got one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I was assuming the other wasn't too bad as if it was the question of replacing only one wouldn't apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
