1.You will have to find a tire that is the same size/brand with same wear
2. Buy new tire and have it shaved
3. Buy 4 new tires(what most do).

That said, I have had Toyo Proxes FX4, Falken Zeix 512(all season V rated) and FK452(summer only) Continental, and Kumho Ecsta MX (summer only), Nitto (snows) and Hankook Icebear (V rated snows) tires on our SVXs. The quietest were the Contis (H-rated).
Thank you "processengr". I may try the Continentals.
