Different amount of rear tire wear a bad thing?

[mockler]

Hi,

This might be a stupid question, but I'm not sure so I thought I'd ask.

A couple of months ago some a$$hole slashed one of my rear tires (315 35ZR17)), and since it was an odd size it took me this long to get a new one, I finally got it in the mail today!! I didn't think I had that much wear on my old tires but now that I have a new one my old one looks to be about 1/2 worn. So will this be bad for the rear end if I put just 1 new tire on the back with the other rear half worn?

If so, what I can do about this? (Besides another new tire, I don't have an extra 500 bones right now.)

They will be fine, its probably only a difference of 4-5 32nds of an inch. No harm will be done!

yeah new tires are like 10 to 11/32nds so half 4/32nds so 1/8 of an inch?? thats not even what the car can sag with you driving it. it'll be okay

you can always have the new tire shaved.

what kind of tire did you buy that was $500 each

It is a goodyear Eagle F1 D3. I got it from tire rack, and by the time it got up here to Canada it was just over 400 (can't remember exactly). To buy one locally in Calgary from a shop is close to 500.
