If 4 new tires are always required what happens when you buy road hazard warranties on tires from these manufacturers? Do they say as a result of the blowout you need 4 new tires here you go free of charge? No! When it comes to making the purchasing decision on tires with their money its slap one tire on it and your good to go dont worry about it you're safe its fine it wont hurt the car at all.

Things that make you say HMMMMMMMMMMM
you caught me circ. toast would have been fine with just replacing 1 tire on his vehicle, but i talked to his tire salesman last week and he agreed to cut me in on the commission if he bought multiple tires. and well it just wasnt worth splitting the commission on 2 tires with his tire salesman and the guy we paid to put the nail in the road to make his tire go flat in the first place

the example i gave about goodyear and rotations.. the 2 rear tires were at 4/32 the two fronts were at 8/32, goodyear warrantied all 4 equally because it was a 4wd pickup. and that wasnt even a road hazard problem

and yes in the past i have warrantied multiple tires on a single road hazard claim to keep the vehicle safe. bottom line is if you work with your salesman, they will work with you

i never said he couldnt do it, i said why would you? no its not as safe, i think we can agree on that. if its not as safe AND it can do damage to your vehicle why would you ever replace just 2?
