| Replacing only 2 tires?
My car needs new tires and I'm trying to save myself a few hundred bucks here. Has anybody tried replacing only 2 tires? I was thinking of keeping 2 tires with the most tread left and putting them in the rear since it's a FWD. Will this work? I know I'm better off replacing all 4 but like I said, I'm trying to save some money esp with the holidays around the corner. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

doesn't matter fwd or rwd, you want traction in ALL 4 wheels at all times.

yup, better to replace in pairs or all of them.
some cars have a pair wear out faster.

if you wanna save money, you can buy nearly-new used tires on craigslist for pennies on the dollar. my last few sets were from craigslist and ebay. just make sure they aren't damaged before you hand over the money.
