Default Changing tires
I just needed a new tire on my S4; I got a sidewall blowout. The dealer (Direct Tire in MA) sold me 2 although they told me I should buy 4 because of the quatro. All my tires are quite good; do I really need to worry about this; I am hearing this 4 tire advice more frequently?

No, you don't *have to* do it. You'll be fine.

Default It is recommended if there is 4/32nds or more
between the new tread vs. the old tread then you replace all of the tires.
