Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand having rear tires with different tread depths can cause some excess wear/heat on the differential. Normally I would just replace both my rear tires and call it a day, however I've been wanting to try a different tire as I'm not really happy with my current tires in the wet (Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S). So the way I see it is I have a few options:



1) Replace both rear tires for ~$500 and prolong dealing with the tires being **** in the wet.



or



2) Replace all my tires for ~$1,000 (would be trying the Pilot Sport A/S 3+).


The a/s 3+ is a great tire id highly recommend it. Personally I’d say just swap out the rears for now because you can always change the fronts later on if you’re not happy with their performance.
