Default Re: Less expensive tire alternative?

Confused, why only the rears? When you rotate, you should be rotating all 4. With that cost, it would seem the cost to just replace them would offset the $200 bucks to dismount/mount/balance the 4 tires and have one less instance of damaging the TPMS sensors. Still up-in-the-air on the whole thing.
