For context, I drive a Toyota Yaris on 17 inch wheels. I hit a pothole and got a bubble on my front right tire (the pain of running low profile tires). Anyway, I bough these tires something like 6 months ago and only have 5000-ish kilometers on them. The other 3 still look in perfect condition. I know it’s normally recommended to replace tires in pairs, but is that really needed here considering how new the set is? Feels stupid to replace a tire that is practically new.

    Since your vehicle isn’t all wheel drive, you can, easily.

    Just keep the new (or new used) tire on the non drive wheels (so the back, for you).

    Basically, you just never want to have mismatched tires on drive wheels. You’ll wear stuff out on your vehicle if you do. Expensive stuff. Not the cheap stuff :-/
