New tire, replace two?
One tire is ripped up and has to be replaced. So the question
is........should I buy two. The set has 29000 miles on them. Thanks |

For me it depends on whether you have a full sixed spare that is new
and could be matched with the one purchased. If not, I would buy two new ones and a rim so I would have two new tires on that axle and a full sized spare with 29,000 miles on it. |

Thanks Al. So the next question is if the full size spare will fit in
the space where the donut was. |

So the next question is if the full size spare will fit in > the space where the donut was. 29,000 miles is not much life, in my opinion...What kind of tires did you have, and on what sort of vehicle? If the failure were due to a puncture, road hazard, etc and not just worn out, I might replace it with a duplicate. If they were both beginning to wear out, I would replace both as an axle set. It is always nice to have a full sized spare, but most cars with doughnut spares dont accomodate them well. |
