Ok here's my question, I have four Kumho wheels on my car right now and one of them has a slow leak which I've been told by Wheelworks is unrepairable because the wheels on that axle are so bald. SO I have to get new wheels. If I just replace two of the wheels, what are the potential risks of leaving the other two balding tires on the car? I would assume my differential would have a problem with the different types of wheels and the new wheels would go bald much faster then if all the wheels were new.

Let me know soon I want to keep driving! Thanks

 

I couldn't figure out what you were talking about, until I realized I needed to replace the word "wheels" with the word "tires" in your post. Frankly, if a tire shop won't repair your tires due to treadwear, you need to get them all replaced. do what it takes to get 4 new tires.

 

It sounds like you need 4 tires anyway - wether one was leaking or not. Do the right thing & buy 4 tires for your safety and ours.

 

+ 1 for getting all new tires, good time to slap on some good rain tires, for the rainy season...
