One new tire, 3 older tires... what to do?
Hi all -
Well, a couple days ago I met a little piece of wood that ended up costing me $120 .
I heard a popping sound on the way to work, and when I came out one of my tires was flat. Turns out it was on the inner sidewall/tread, and wasn't really safe to repair. So, I had to get a new Revo for my ride.
So now I have 3 Revo's with about 10/15k miles on them, and one brand new one (so there's like 1/8" difference in the tread height or so). Anything I should do, or just leave it alone? I was thinking maybe the new one should be on the front, so it wears more (on the rear right now), or something. Any thoughts, or does it not really matter....

I don't think you need to worry if your other tires only have low mileage on them. If you couldn't get a matching tire or if the others were much more worn then I would consider buying another tire so that I had a matched set on each axle. I don't think you need to do that unless you really want to.
