Default Replace one or two tyres

Hi,

So had a bit of bad luck with tyres recently. Replaced my front tyres a month or so ago and now have a puncture in one.

The two tyres i put on were my old set (so part worn). They are toyo t1s tyres with out 4mm of tread.

I'm looking at gettin some toyo t1r's to replace the old tyre. Am i best replacing both tyres so both front tyres have same treadt or can i just replace one?

The tyres will be the same size (205/40/17)

Just need know before i order

Thanks

You will have to keep the odd one then, till you get another odd one, then you will have a pair
With price of tyres I would buy one as long as the tread was same pattern, I hate odd patterns. Pete

I used to not give a shit about tyres - just saw them as round bits of black rubber you need to have to be legal. Didn't care if I had 4 different makes, and on the last car didn't give a toss they were different sizes

But after actually looking into tyres, I'd now much rather have 4 matching tyres (model and brand) with the same wear on them. And whereas before I'd buy the bare cheapest tyres I could so as to have more money left over to buy daft exhausts or dump valves, I'd rather spend that money on decent tyres instead now.

Just saying....

Exactly, think too many people soak up F1 like a sponge, then think the same applies for the road. Why throw a tyre with thousands of miles use away? Absolute madness, if you've got money to burn I'll PM you my granddaughter's Xmas list.
