Should I just change both of them or if I only put one on will there be a weird wear thing going on?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, they say everything comes in 3's...After getting my car back for a week...I shredded the back tire on some metal in the road. I took the car to the tire shop and guess what...5-7 working days until they get the tires in. I ordered 265/40Z/R18 (Bridgestone Pontenza 0550A) and they said that size tire is in high demand? Does that sound right? Anyway, they had to ship them in from Austin. Even tire rack quoted me 4 days and gave me the Spanish Inquisition about whether these were my original tires. What is that all about? My tire only had 9500 miles on it. Here is the question: I ordered two so I didn't have to go through this whole scenario again. Should I just change both of them or if I only put one on will there be a weird wear thing going on?

POST 2Original post

Hi, Change them both, keep the Oddman as a spare... Sorry... Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

POST 3Original post

Rail26, I am assuming the fronts are the same brand and make (Bridgestone Pontenza 0550A)...right? You should not mix tires. You can induce some harmonic imbalances if you do. So I have read... Sorry about the misshap.

POST 4Original post

One day, a long, long time from now, when you're tracking your GT, you'll think back to these tough days of boxster ownership and think, "Gee, I wish I had those problems now... they're nothing compared to what I'm paying to keep this GT on the road."

POST 5Original post

umm...aren't those unidirectional tires? Maybe not, as I'm sure you already considered this....

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I bought two new Potenzas and put them on the rear. I kept the used (good tire) as a spare. By the way...the third happened today. For some reason, the 12v power jack in the passenger wheel well doesn't work. I think I blew it when I plugged in the air compressor to blow up the tire. Really annoying because that is where I plug in my radar detector. By the way...any suggestion on where to buy the "tire goo" to replace the goo I used?
