Should I purchase all new tires at the same time; or should I rotate the back to the front in an attempt to get more tread life out of them?
Generally when purchasing tires for a vehicle how many you should purchase depends on the type of vehicle you drive. For all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicles it is recommended to replace all four tires at a time to be sure all tread patterns match. For front or rear wheel drive vehicles the tires on both the front and rear axle should match each other and can be purchased in sets of two if needed. Tire rotation is generally done to maintain the tread life on your tires and tread life warranty from the manufacturer if any. Without rotating your tires they will suffer from excessive treadwear that can lead to early replacement. Tires should be rotated at intervals of every 6,000 to 7,000 miles or every second oil change to maximize tire life, rotating tires is designed to extend your tires life and won't help if your tires already need replacing.
