    Two tyres. Dangerous to have mismatched tread depths on the same axle.

    This applies regardless of whether you claim or not.


    Youve been to kwik fit too often i think. Tyres dont always wear evenly. Lots of factors will vary tyre wear, Do you load the left & right sides evenly? Drive in the middle of the road to avoid the camber?

    Do you change your tyres every few days just in case?

    No, but I do rotate them every so often.

    Haven't been to kwik fit in a long long time.

    Obviously it depends on the age of the tyres too. If he'd only bought new ones a week ago then I'd just replace the one.

    I believe tyres should be matched but I think the OP would be doing well if they get the price of one.;)
