OK "someone" released the air out of my tire while i was at the gym. I went home and i could tell it was flat. So i drove home like half a mile, and i guess the tire got messed up. So now i dont know what to do?

Should i buy a used Azenis falken tire(80-90% left), or should i buy a Nitto 555(new), which i currently have on all 4?

My question is, will putting a new tire on one of the sides mess up the balance or the performance of the car more then putting a different brand.

Wow i confused myself hopefully someone understands me.

thank you

ideal situation would be to replace both tires on the same axle. second best thing would be to replace with the exact same model of tire. last choice and it should not even be considered would be to use a different brand and model of tire.

 

do not mix brands/ makes of tires... replace it with whats on the other 3 and should of been on the 4th (that your replacing)

K thx, so even if the other tire has 85% left, its ok?

 

Yeah, sure.. if 85% is left.. I would just replace the one that got wrecked with the same exact one...let the other 3 stay if they are in that good of shape.

Thank you

PS word of advice, dont roll half a mile on a flat tire because itll create lumps on the sidewall..

 

Safest fix is to go with the Nitto since you have them
on the other corners........LOL
