Dirtbags. I had a similar thing happen to me at a Hole in One event for charity. The prize was 4 tires for a hole in one. Another fellow got a hole in one, and they ended up splitting up the prize. I got 2 tires as did he...at least I assume. I gave them away. Who puts tires on two wheels at a time? Only those who are in dire need, or needs studded tires BITD.

I will often replace 2 tires, it just depends on circumstances.

for example I might buy 4 new tires for fwd car, I will drive till the fronts are worn out and then rotate the rears which have almost no wear to the front and put the new tires on the rear and repeat till car is totaled.

or more likely wait till the fronts are 1/2 tread and rotate them to the rear and put the non worn rear tires on the front drive till they are worn and put new ones on the front.

I am sure there are lots of people who do the same.

If I had a good spare, I’d buy just one new tire to go with it and rotate the two best worn tires to the back (no winter weather to worry about where I did that). But that was back before tiny spares, and back when I wasn’t much better off than minimum wage.

Exactly... If I get a flat, I just buy a new car. /S

And those of us with old Mopars with bad ball joints that makes front end alignment impossible and the front tires only getting worn out quickly.

Is that like putting on a sock and shoe, then a sock and a shoe?
