In the last 2 years I have come across 3 people who have all experienced the same thing when suffering from a single unrepairable tyre, garages will only supply and fit on a per axle basis. ie 2 tyres. Not sure if this is strict legal requirement. Whilst it is good practice if the tyres are more than 30% worn, or are the garages just maximising income?
And this in a country where up until recently,(or may even be current?) puncture repair using external loop lenthg of rubber was common place. About 10 years ago I had a puncture and the garage could not understand why I wanted the repaired tyre putting on the rear.
