its best to get all 2nd hand or all brand new

but im sure youl; be right after you scrub in the new one, just keep checking pressures

as long as on one axle ur running the same set of tires then ull be sweet

so u can run 2 new on the front and 2 old on the rear, but never mix and match.

If worse comes to worse and you only can get 3 old, 1 new, Run an old and new on the rear (Im guessing the car will be a FWD Honda?)

If your car has an LSD, the driven wheels need to be the same daimeter.
