My buddy needs a tire changed on his WRX... according to Discount Tire, its a LAW in IL that you have to replace all 4 tires on an AWD vehicle.
Is this true?

I think Discount Tire is trying to pull a fast one, I don't think there is any law, but I remember reading some where that on a AWD car the tires on the same axle must be replaced or it could damage the diff. - again I am not a 100% sure on this.

No law at all on this. Oddly enough, I replaced just one tire when I blew an OEM on my 250 AWD and bought from Discount Tire. Let them show you the IVC (Illinois Vehicle Code) number and code for this.

I heard the same bs at Tires Plus with our Volvo. Long story short, the manager of that store showed up and told us the counter sales person was an idiot and meant to say "recommended", not "required by law". He just charged us for the tire, no labor :-)

It's not a law or even a rule. That would mean that any AWD that used the spare tire in Illinois would be in violation.
Total BS
I would replace only one unless the other tires are shot already. There is no better feeling then a brand new set of tires.......
