Hello. This is kind of a general question. Do you always have to change all four tires at the same time? or is it okay if you just get new tires for the front first and then, get new tires for the rear little later? I know it's more logical to do 4 at all once for balanc reason. It seems though front tires wear down faster than the rear ones. Well, any inputs would be much appreciated.

Thanks

if you rotate the tires every 6,000 they will were at the same rate but i know what you talking aobut on my dodge caravan i never rotate and you can run the one set back for two sets of the front.

It is a better idea to replace all four tires at once but, you can replace 2 at a time if your tire wear is that uneven. Proper tire rotation will eliminate uthe wear issue if it is possible to rotate them. The new tires should always be installed on the rear of the car because if installed on the front it will cause an oversteer situation in adverse conditions (in the rain). With the new tires on the rear it would create an understeer which is much easier to control.
Thanks, Luke
