Changing all 4 tires?
 

Two rear tires are damaged because of bad shocks. Normally I change all 4, but since the tires are more than 50% life, should I just do two?

I would on a "normal car," but like all of you, the car is just a bit special.

What would you do?

Keep the 50% tires as full size spares just in case...

This is what i use to do.

Put my back 2 tires in the front, and put the 2 new ones in the back.

Edit: ^ Shit that was when my front 2 tires went bad, i read your post wrong sorry. Put better tires in front.

Now i put the new tires in the front and keep the olds in the back because i need traction. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif

well, two new ones are better than two bad ones. if there's nothing wrong with the front two, then just changing the rear two. if you can afford to change all four, then change four, but if you're a budget guy like most of us, change two.

For what? You're telling me your FWD Turbo vehicle spins tires? Yeah right. Next, you're going to tell me your 4 cylinder makes over 200hp. Geez, people these days. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

Rotate 'em? Put the front ones on the back and back ones on the front.... I dunno, that is quite the predicament. http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif I have a tire problem as well. Need to replace all of them. I have new wheels to put the rubber on. But not enough money to get the tires or fix the CV boot. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsad.gif

uhh... his rear tires are bad... why would he want those on the front?

change all 4 tires.... save the 2 good ones for a rainy treadless day. after you get the struts replaced of course. then get a 4 wheel alignment.

good enough for what?

Re: Changing all 4 tires? (slambedcivic)
 

You change tires by the pair. You should not change them by the singles (aka: one at a time). Generally, you should change the front as a pair and rear as a pair.

i forget what kind they are but ive got some coopers on my teg with a 600 traction rating https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

get two new tires, unless you want four, and put the two new good ones in the front, and the worse ones in the rear.
