Tire Replacement - 1 new paired w/ 3 old (1 Viewer)

Stupid question time!

I have a 2008 GX470 with Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires with a slow leak in one tire that I’ve tried a couple times to patch unsuccessfully and tire shops won’t touch it.

Refilling the tire every day is getting really annoying but I don’t want to replace all four. Is it possible to buy one fresh new tire and not cause any trouble if the other tires have about 30,000 miles on them?

Pic shows current tread depth. It looks pretty good to me but not sure how a new tire would negatively effect things... if at all?

thanks!

Is the gx awd? If so, you simply can't do one tire.
Regardless, its a good idea to replace in pairs.

yes, the GX is full-time 4 wheel drive.

wouldn't replacing in pairs also cause issues?

Yes, thus the mention.
You need four tyres
