Hello,

Have somebody of you changed Only One used tire with absolutely new tire (the same brand and size)? My wheel disc cracked and also damaged the tire ? so i need to replace the tire also, but wearing of others tires is 50%. So on the vehicle will be assembled one brand new tire on the rear with the other used tires. Is it ok?

Tires are Brigestone Potenza RE050A RSC RR and FR 245/40/R18.

Thanks for any advice

i've had it done too under the tire warranty. Tires had 15k miles on them, and dealer replaced one of the rear ones. I didn't notice any weird issues with only one being replaced...maybe because it was on the back.

i thought that the problem could be with the differential in the future, because the rear wheels will spin with the diferent speed

If the difference in tread depth is negligible (> 50%) you'll be fine.
