When replacing two tires on a front wheel drive vehicle the new tires should be installed on the front axle?

When tires are replaced in pairs in situations like these, the new tires should always be installed on the rear axle and the partially worn tires moved to the front. New tires on the rear axle help the driver more easily maintain control on wet roads since deeper treaded tires are better at resisting hydroplaning.

Where do you put 2 new tires on a front wheel drive car?

When tires are replaced in pairs, the new tires should always be installed on the rear axle, and the partially worn tires should be moved to the front.

Can you replace one tire on a front wheel drive car?

To replace just one or two tires without adversely affecting performance and safety, the other tires need to have an adequate amount of tread left. If your tires are pretty new, you may be able to get away with just replacing one or two tires.

Do you have to replace all 4 tires on a front wheel drive?

On an AWD vehicle or one with a conventional four-wheel-drive system, all four tires would ideally be replaced at the same time so they all have the same amount of traction as well as the same diameter. On a front- or rear-wheel-drive vehicle, similar guidelines apply.

Is it OK to have different brand tires on front and back?

The short answer is that, in general, manufacturers do not recommend tire mixing at all. That means having the same brand, size, tread pattern, load index, and speed rating on the front and rear tires. However, there are exceptions that can lead to mixing tire brands.

Can I go from 225 to 235 tires?

Yes…that size will work 100% perfectly, as it is the exact same diameter as the 225/75-16. 235/70-16 is actually a shorter tire. I personally would never go to a shorter tire which is smaller overall.

Do lift kits reduce gas mileage?

As a general rule, putting a lift kit and bigger tires on a truck will decrease its gas mileage. There are, however, some ways to mitigate this. The more aggressive tread increases rolling resistance to put more tire on the ground, which is great for off-road but can significantly reduce gas mileage.
