I inherited my mom's old Lexus LS 400 and it has been neglected, sitting sad and alone in my dad's garage the past 3 years since my mom passed. He takes it out occasionally on short runs but it really has been mostly stored away collecting dust. I drove it a couple of times maybe 10 years ago but since I am currently between cars, I started driving it last week and Dag-Gone if it is not a nice car! From day 1 when it left the lot she was very meticulous about her car, having it maintained at the dealership and having it fully detailed every month so it is pretty much like new in apprearance at least. It floats down the road as quietly and smoothly as if their is not even an engine in front of you, I swear it's like sitting in your favorite recliner going down the highway, LOL I can't believe this thing is 15 years old!
Anyway, I have been seriously thinking of making it my main car for the time being but it's going to need some regular maintenance and is also going to need new tires. The front has maybe 5K miles left on them and the rears probably have 15K.
My question is, should I go ahead and replace them all at once? or just do the front for now and do the rear next year sometime? I will probably not drive it more than 10K miles over the next year or so...
What would be the downside to replacing only 2 tires versus doing them all at once?
Edited to Add: Is Costco the best place to change tires? I used to use Sam's club but since joining Costco my Sam's club membership has lapsed.
