Hi.
Have a Impreza Wrx RA -1996 and Toyo T1R all around. I just bought it, and the front wheel are not legal anymore, and the rear tires have about 6 mm left. It feels hard to the economy to buy 4 new when you have 2 very good tires. It it okay with 2 mm difference if I only buy 2 tires..?
(The new tires should have about 8 mm from factory?)
Can these difference damage the drivetrain, or is it all okay?

Thank you
Regards Jimmy

I have a similar problem:

All my tyres are half worn, but I had a blowout yesterday (not repairable). I know that you shouldn't mix tread depths so I tried all the local part worn centres, but no-one had the right size tyre.

Worse still, the 2 tyre centres on my way home only had cheapo budget brands in my size, so I had to buy 1 just to get me home.

So I am temporarily driving around with 3 half worn Bridgestones and 1 new Chinese tyre. How much damage to the transmission will this do in the short term?

Also, do I have any other option but to replace all 4 tyres even though 3 are perfectly OK?

Suggestions please....
