I would rarely replace ONLY 1 tire...at least both of the tires on either the front or the rear.

OF course on ANY car with traction system make sure the "taller" tires are on the rear or you will have traction system problems.

MAKE sure that the ride height is checked and adjusted & alignment is done correctly.
