Default Tires for C7

I have a 2014. Front tires are down to 4/32 and rear tires are down to 6/32. I am assuming that since the back tires are larger they don't turn as much so they won't wear as fast. Do you think it is okay to replace the fronts only now and the rears later. Car only has 25,000 miles on original tires but the rears look they could make it another year, maybe more?

Welcome to the forum. Since the car is a 2014, it was possibly made in 2013. That means the tires are about 6 years old. So you might as well replace all of them.

As it turns out the back tires are starting to cup so I am getting all 4 this afternoon and booked an alignment for in the morning. Thanks.

Good decision on replacing all four and what Anthony F mentions is a good guideline to go by.

Usually there's discounts for 4 tires, not 2.
