My dad has a 1989 Toyota Corolla DX, so do I. We have the same model/make and I was just wondering if i could switch out the tires from mine to his. We have the same tire size and everything. I don't think it would be a problem, but I thought I'd ask before doing it. And, all I'd have to do is take the tires/rims off and switch them over to his car? or what?

The main reason I am doing this is because my car is dead, his works. His rims are rusted, mine are perfect. Even more amazingly, all of my tires are basically new (only 1000 miles on them) and the tread on all four is exactly the same depth.

Short answer: yes.
Long answer:
Even though it is the same make/model, chances are that neither of you drive the same and your cars do not wear the same. Tires tend to wear to the drivers style of driving and how the car is set up. It would be fine for in a pinch, but if you are doing this just because your tires are worn out then you would be further ahead to buy a new set of tires and have the car aligned so that you don't tear through another set.
EDIT: Ok, with the new info - yes no problems. Depending on how long your car has been sitting dead, might want to consider having the tires balanced if your Dad's car has any shaking to hit after you change them.

The Hyundai Elantra is $9,022 if offered from broking and $10,one hundred if offered from inner most celebration. yet another $900 is needed in case you pick to operate on some universal ideas. Ford concentration is truly more low priced at $8,990 at broking and $10,107 at inner most celebration. universal ideas are about $450 better. Personnaly i'd bypass with the concentration. no longer only is it better stylish yet is noticebly better mushy. It also has a truly higher mph. in spite of the indisputable fact that it truly is larger added kit is more low priced and a lot less puzzling to get ahold off.

Radial tires should not be switched, from side to side. If you take left side tires off of one car, put them on the left side of the second car.
As long as tire sizes are the recommended sizes, there is no problem in switching.

yeah, that's fine. Take the whole rim off with the tyre over and do a straight swap, easy, just make sure you use a couple of pin stands with a good jack for extra support( so the car doesn't fall on you).

As long as he agrees there is no problem at all, if he doesn't, there might be.
