3 good tires, one bad.

OK. I have 3 /32 x 11.5 BFG AT's. (non-KO's) They're at a little over 50% tread. One of the tires is all torn up. What are my options to replace the fourth? I'd prefer not to replace them all if the other 3 are in good shape.

Basically, what would you do if you were in my shoes?

keep a good as a spare and run 2 of them on one axle and 2 new ones on another axle.... as long as they are the same size and your nout using 4x4 where its not needed, all will be fine

I just thought of that before I started reading the response. Weird. You think I'd be better off running the new ones on the rear then, right?

Also, do you think it'd make any difference if the new ones were KO's? I'm not really sure what the difference between the KO's and non-KO's is (more agressive sidewall maybe?) but I'm pretty sure I cant get the older style anywhere anymore.

Or see if you have a used tire shop local, they might have a tire of that size. Otherwise get the 2 new ones. The KOs have a little more sidewall tread:



Right now I am running two old style BFG/MTs up front (33x9.50) and two new style MT/KMs (33x10.50) in back on my truck. Trying to wear out the 9.50s that I have used for spares for the last 8 years.
