Do you need to replace all 4 tires on a tacoma?
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.
What do scalloped tires look like?
It is usuall on the inner part of the tread, the tread lugs are worn with dips in it. It is different then feathered tires which have 1 edge of the tread worn more than the other- It can seen when bad, but it is easier to feel by running your had front to back and vis-versa. It will feel shaper in one direction. Scalloped is usually due to damaged/worn parts, feathered is normally due to excessive toe condition.

Why do your tires squeal making low speed turns in your 2004 Chevy suburban?
Perhaps worn tires (outer edges) Tire pressure? I've been told that it is the result of imperfect geometry in the steering system, that one or both of the steering tires is not in a perfectly matched turning radius with the other. This results in part of the tread on one, or both, of the tires sliding [being pulled, or "scrubbing"] on the driving surface. That scrubbing, and the resulting sound your describe, is actually a mild form of the same squealing which occurs when "burning out," or when braking too hard.
How should tires be stored when not in use?
There are several things one needs to consider when storing tires. One needs to make sure they are stored in a dry area. Putting trashbags around them to keep them dry and safe is also important. Finally, one should make sure to write down the previous position of the tires on those bags, as worn tires can behave differently when put on different wheels.
Do you have to replace all 4 tires at once on hynda awd?
No, but make sure all 4 tires are the exact same size. No exceptions to this on a 4wd vehicle. Also if the tires are worn badly I would recommend you replace both tires on the same axle at once. The wear difference in a new tire and worn tire on the same axle can cause the vehicle to drift or pull to one side. If your rotate your tires as you should all 4 tires will wear evenly. That way you replace all 4 at the same time which is always the best.

Your tires are worn out, or your accelerating too hard. Or is it only when you break? it means you need to replace our brakes, one side might be more worn out than another, so when you brake one side may get more grip and make it turn.
What does the term capped tires mean?
You see these often on heavy duty commercial trucks. A brand new tire is referred to as a "virgin". Once a tire gets worn down to the DOT minimum, get punctured to a point where cords are exposed, badly cupped or worn out-of-round, or pretty much anything which isn't sidewall damage or a blowout, that tire can be sent to a number of manufacturers (e.g., Michelin, Bandag, Goodyear, etc.) and they'll cut off the original cap, and replace it with a new cap. These tires tend to be less expensive than virgin tires, plus, contrary to popular belief, one time recaps on virgin casings are as reliable as virgin tires (it's when you get into two- and three-time recaps that you encounter problems), so long as the operator(s) maintain proper tire pressure.
