What happens in this recurring discussion is an assumption is that there's a huge difference between whatever tires are on a given end of the car. On my part, I tend to assume people replace tires in sets of four, as I do, so the wear difference is relatively minimal. I know that's not accurate , so one can wind up with some significant differences in tread on each end, in which case having thin treads on the back could be a problem.
But IMHO, if you have the choice --due to personal economics-- of putting only 2 new and pricey tires on a car to match the worn ones, I'd buy cheaper tires and have 4 new ones. Been there, done that.
