    Well since I have that nail on the sidewall of my front-left tire, I needed to get a new one. I also have an alignment on Saturday at SOG and I have to drive to the airport on Sat and then to SOG. Too much driving on the spare IMO. So I wanted to replace that tire only with a like tire but man Dekalb is gonna charge me $190 out the door for just 1 tire installed and balanced. I know I'm getting royally screwed, but not a lot else I can do. I haven't found those stock type tires anywhere else in such short notice. Oh well, it pushes back when I can get the Falkens.

    GTE closes at 6, can't make it there in time, ever. So they are out of my options. I can't even drive there during my 1hr lunch and make it back in time.

    how worn are the tires you have now?

    its bad to ride on just 1 new and 3 old tires especially when you have awd. i would get all 4 new ones.
    try kauffman tires.
