I have always changed the tyres in two's and have experienced no prblems.

You will find the STi especially wears tyres and a faster rate at the front due to the larger brakes, engine weight and cornering.

If there is loads of tread at the rear, your not going 2 have a problem, slapping 2 new tyres at the front.

You can get away with two ... depends how worn the remaining two are, I would always change four ... but its "expensive" as I found out recently. Not like the Vauxhalls though.

Easy way to stop this happening..change them round regularly.. you lazy .. only joking ! I have always done this, to avoid the question of can I just put two new ones on, in rallity it's no more expensive, it just comes all at once !
