I bought a Passat new a couple years ago - 30K miles on it now.
Tires are hardly worn - but I did take a gouge out of the side wall of one on a curve (at about 20K). It obviously has held well (I assume there are internal steel or other threads that are the actual structure) - but I don't want to temp fate too much....
So, should I replace just two tires? Or all four? My tires don't seem to wear unevenly, so I'm not sure rotation from front to back is needed. If I replace just two, I am of course stuck for the duration not doing any front to back rotation...but I save a lot of money!
