I see no issue with changing the two front and not rear.. you need to have a lot more of a discrepancy for it to cause an issue...

check out ebay..

2 NICE TOYO PROXES ST-II, 255/50/19, TIRE # 30449 | eBay

+2... I don't foresee any potential issues about changing just the 2 front and not the rears. Salesmen are always going to get you for as much as possible. They hardy ever listen to yor needs nor budget. Get yourself 2 front tires and get a 4 wheel alignment and change the rears when the time comes.

so towmorrow i was going to put some new on rear 150$
atturo az800 ,and those used in the front,and now i have to see about those,if will be safe!,,



also how do i check if my shocks are okay?


those once in rear to the sides they are okay,but the inside are up and down,and someone told me that my shocks are out,
at les schab tires the guy also said that german cars the tow (?) is not like at the usa cars,and they do that after a while of use...

so now i am confuse about the shocks if i have to change them or not,also the driver rear side it looks the inside on the tire is going to wire also...

so now do i need to change shock and do the alignment ?

or just do the alignment? only...

thanks for any advice

rear: driver

Return those Toyos (because of the one with the cuts in the sidewall). I wouldn't mount it on my vehicle.

The rears are worn as well, on the inside edges, so you need four tires.

Four wheel alignment. Shop should check suspension when they do that, and let you know if anything is worn. I wouldn't worry about the shocks/struts right now, you need tires and alignment more than anything else. If those are worn, the vehicle will float over dips in the road, and not feel as controlled.

bosanci28 - I have the exact same tire wear problem on the

same yr/sport/19s. I looked at RealOEM and only saw 2 rubber bushings there that could wear out.

I'm thinking it's just an alignment problem only at this point.

Did you find out if your bushings need replacing or another part?

just go to realoem.com and there is a pic under front

suspension that shows the 2 bushings.

There is a bushing that Weasel posted about that is solid rubber vs. the silicone-filled stock bushing. When I replace mine, I'll probably use stock for that soft feel.

When you go in for the alignment, the tech should check for that by trying to move the wheel side to side and top to bottom.

Please LMK what he tells you, I bet I have the same issue.

Thanks.

Here's a link for that pic (not sure it will post right)!
