    A full set if the best summer tyres you can afford would be the safest. Replacing tyres individually would create imbalance under braking.

    Unless you are living on the side of a mountain or steep incline just get some all season tyres like the Continental CrossClimate. And don't be replacing then 1 or 2 at time, it's not advisable to be mixing different season tyres like that. Either replace all 4 together or wait until you have the money for 4.
