And delicious it is too.
Re the tyres, unless you want the hit of buying 4 at once think you'll be better just getting 2 new fronts and keep the winters on the back, accept they'll wear out quicker than normal though as they're softer compound.
Depends if car is front or rear drive and if you have a heavy right foot though.

Front drive, heavy foot

If you rotated your tyres on a regular basis,
You wouldn't have this problem.

Surely tyres rotate whenever the car moves?

Well, you're right in one sense,
But also an idiot.

Or just being irritatingly facetious
Lot of modern tyres are unidirectional so can only be swapped front/rear anyway on same side.
Advice I've seen is to put new pair on rear so any problems with the old ones result in understeer rather than oversteer, but for me on a front drive car I'd rather have the best tyres on the wheels doing 80+% of the work, ie the front.

It's not often that you are right, but you are spot on here.

The very never owned a modern car,
I didn't know this.

Dear Winders
As surprising as it may seem, you can put modern tyres onto old cars.

surely it's better just to get 4 new tyres, or not drive it until you can?
he's got v young apes in the car, why risk it skidding?

you're assuming they're threadbare
if you don't do high speeds then legal is fine, if you do motorway/fast A road legal limit may not be enough in rain and better replace at 3mm left rather than 1.6
