Hi CX3ers,

Is everyone replacing all 4 tyres at the same time? 215/50/18.

3mm on the front with edge wear and slight cracking and 5mm on the back, I guess turning all 4 on rotation would even out the wear. Looking at getting Goodyear efficent grip performance 2 with 68 db to cut down the road noise. Currently on Toyos that seem to have a long life as the tyre age is the same as the car.

Not sure whether to buy 2 or 4?

Any views on this.

I believe there is a chance of AWD drivetrain damage if the front and rear tyres have significant tread depth difference.
I have Michelin CrossClimate SUV tyres on mine & find them to be very good with grip & noise level.
Kwik-Fit have 10% off 2 and 15% off 4 Michelin tyres until the end of the month for online orders, but there may be better offers if you shop around.
