I am about to order tyres for my 2006 Sport. Only the back are showing a bad ware patten. Is it advisable to change all types or is it okay to just change the back two!?! Andrew Kennedy

How bad are the front tyres? On a 4wd vehicle ive always changed all 4, but i keep a very close eye on my tyres so that they wear evenly, by swapping fronts to back when necessary. I would never run a mix of tyres either All tread patterns must match for my vehicles. Surprising how many people run odd tyres.

It's fine to change just the back two, but if they have bad wear, I would look at getting a proper alignment done to rectify any erratic wear. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

I'm with Ady - but if money is a challenge its not a big issue.

I have the original contis on the front and new Pirellis on the rear . no problem. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Just done mine, had all 4 put on then tracking / alignment done.

I could not afford the top brand tyres so I went for:

Hankook 275/40 WR 20 RH06 XL 106W

£540 for all four (£135 each), this included new valve, balancing, old tyre disposal and vat.

I thought that was pretty good  2006 RRS SC Bonatti Grey (the 55th car/van I have owned)
2005 GSX 1400 K5

Agreed, all four is best, think considering the overall mass of our cars, rubber should be at the same wear n tear all round.
Btw £540 for four 20" tyres IS a great deal,just been pricing up some myself.

I used a company called ETS here in Derbyshire

Kwikfit were doing the exact same tyres for £30 each more.

At £540 I can afford to do them all, I even got them to do the tracking / alignment for half price seeing as how I was having a full set on.  2006 RRS SC Bonatti Grey (the 55th car/van I have owned)
