Replace a single tire?

Rule of thumb is that tires lose a significant portion of their grip after ~6 years of being made, and after 10 years they should be replaced regardless of thread wear.

I personally don’t use performance tires at all after they reach 6 years.

Check for the date stamp on them, if they’re older than 2016 I’d toss them.
