I know there's a lot of discussion about replacing just 2 tires on the forums. My thought is if its okay to have a staggered setup where over 25000 miles they wore to a 3/32 difference front to back, then that will be exactly the same # of miles with same tread differences if i put new 10/32 tires on the rear while fronts are 7/32. They'll wear down and both get to 4/32 at the same time.
Only difference is instead of having the diameter differences where the rear is smaller than front, in this case the rear would be bigger by 0.7% to begin with.
Tire Differences based on my tires (28.7" OD)
Tread (32nds) / Diameter (in) / Diameter (%)
1 / 0.063 / 0.2%
2 / 0.125 / 0.4%
3 / 0.188 / 0.7%
4 / 0.250 / 0.9%
5 / 0.313 / 1.1%
