Yes, but you must keep the overall diameter of the tires you are installing the same as the recommended tire size on the car. Any decent tire shop can tell you what size will work.
No, you can replace one tire as long as it is the exact same size as the rest of them.
They can but changing tire size will change speedometer readings and the way your car handles. You also must have all four the same size. There is a link to a tire size calculator in related links.
The over-all size of the tire and wheel would change the calibration of the speedometer/odometer.
It is usually recommended that you change both tires in the set (front or back) at the same time. This keeps the car level side to side and prevents uneven wear. A common practice with a full size spare is to match the spare with a new tire and use the odd tire off the wheels to replace the spare. This puts two new tires on the car and a serviceable one for a spare.My opinion, based on my knowledge is: If you replace one tire with the exact same brand, model, and size tire, and the other tire on the same axle has less than half it's tread left then also replace it. That way you have two tires on that axle with the same diameter. If it has more than half it's tread left, then just replace the one tire. The difference in diameter is not significant enough to do any harm. You do not have to worry about the two tires on the other axle. If on the other hand you are replacing the tire with a different brand tire or different size tire, then absolutely replace both tires on that axle. Different tire brands have different diameters even if they are listed as the same size.
The tire size is P215/65TR16 on all four.
the diameter of the tire (all the way across)
That is a very common size, made by all tire companies.
No, that is not necessary. Just make sure you install exactly the same size tire on all 4 wheels.
Great question! I was told "no" by slaesman at Discount Tire because it is an "all-wheel" drive vehicle. I wondered how they would handle it if I bought the tire protection package and one tire became damaged. Would they then offer to change all of my tires for the same reason (most unlikely!) or would they then say that it's OK to replace just the one?
Not unless they are all worn out. You can replace just two tires. I recommend you replace both front or both rear tires at the same time. Also make sure that all 4 tires are the exact same size. If the tires are fairly new and not worn you can replace just one tire if one was damaged as long as the size is the same.
on any car you can replace just one tire. however it is recommended to replace all four due to different wear patterns. replacing just one tire can cause your vehicle to drift off to one side and can cause excessive wear to your tires.
You can purchase a 4x4 tires at http://discounttires.com/ for 50-100 dollars if you want to replace it yourself. Cost of tires may be somewhat more or less depending on the size you need and if you want a particular brand. It's best to match the size and tread of your current tires if you aren't replacing all four. You can also look at Costco and Sears. If you don't know how to replace the tire yourself or don't want to, you can check your local Walmart if they have a Tire and Lube department, or your local automotive shop.
