It's kind of like the “how often should you change your oil” question. People have lots of different opinions but really it's a personal preference. I think that if you ask the manufacturer of your car Ford that they would tell you to do as you please also. | |

But obviously your tracking will be aligned. Me personally I change two at a time as stated above, but I know so many people that do not follow this and only change one tyre at a time as needed, so I believe it is more a personal choice more than anything. Having each axel matching is technically safer but as long as you don't drive like a lunatic you shouldn't have problems. | |
