Default Guidelines for changing tires

Need advice on this. I'm replacing existing Toyo T1-S's with Toyo T1-S's. I'd recommend these to anyone. 3 words: Inexpensive, tight, and quiet. It's also hard to hydroplane them.

http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/sho...il.cfm?id=1604 They have a nice package deal.

Upon closer inspection of the front tires, I have 4x the tread than the rear. Apparently I was too enthusiastic with the gas

I've got all 4 tires on the way, but should I replace all 4 or just the two rears?

Should I also get a re-alignment done whenever I change tires? It doesn't appear to be off, but I'd rather not have a bad alignment eating my tires.

Thanks.

Default Sell

If I were you I would just sell the used ones and put the new ones on. I just sold my EMT fronts and I did not even run an add just posted to someone who had a WTB add. You do not even have to box them to ship just drop them off at FedEx ground and you are done.
