New Tires... Do you have to get 4 or can you just get 2?

My girlfriend needs new tires, she only thinks she needs two, but I've always heard it's better to get all 4 tires replaced, even if two of them are pretty new and in good condition...
what do you people who know more about cars than me think about this?

You can buy 2.. just make sure they are the same specs as the other 2 remaining on the car. When replacing 2 tires only, they need to be placed on the rear axle of the vehicle.
Peace
And how are the front ones? Cause if those are fine you can get away with just getting 2.
Keep an eye on the wear of your sets. If you see one side of both tires is wearing down and you have any pull, get your alignment fixed and rotate your tires. It's really a judgement call and how much $ you have to spend. If the worn down set is bad and the other is fine...just get two. If they are all showing wear, it's a good idea to get 4.

The only truth I know is you.
i blew a rear tire this weekend ... and instead of replacing it - i am replacing 2 .. but i decided to put them on the front and put the old ones on the back ... thinking because my drive is front-wheel ... that it's better to have those tires on there ...
thoughts?

Sorry man. Car maintenance bills suck. You go to the mechanic...pay a huge bill...and leave with the same car. It seems so unproductive.
Exactly. That's why I'm STILL slacking on my timing belt :shifty:

My last car started to have some problems and it became one thing after another. It was an old car but to get everything fixed that need fixing would have cost about what the damn car was worth. Traded that thing in on a new car. Yeah, used cars are financially smarter...but I had never purchased new and I'm glad I did!! Awesome warranty...will never have to pay to get it fixed!!
car salesman, shheesh.

as long as the tires are all the same size
example... 215 75 15
that's what mine are
i suppose you can run different sizes in the front and the back
but don't mix sizes in the back or the front
remember the days of jacked up camaros?
huge tires in the back
smaller up front
silly bullshit
but yes
you can have new tires
and older tires and be just fine
who the hell wants to go out and spend $400-$500 all at once on tires?
you can if you are doing well
in my situation... no
im not doing all that well
so i get every god damn mile i can get out of my fucking tires
so far i have 3 newer tires and one that will be getting replaced in the next month or so
i also endorse buying nice ass used tires
out in western washington there was a badass store that had kick ass used tires for cheap as fuck
$25 bucks got you a tire that would last years

Getting a little sensitive arent you? Maybe you need to get some strange.
Oh wait....

Not sensitive. Just in a PM "discussion" with someone that frankly I don't understand why I am.
Me I'm stuck like chuck in the truck. I n fact I may be going to bed soon. Hope to drive almost the entirety of my 11 hours allowed. As of now I have about 6 hours accounted for for tomorrow.

Yes I am. By the way, what are you wearing?
Ok, I'm wearing something different.
