Im just going to order one tire tomorrow. I need to order it by 11am so that it gets here on wednesday, otherwise i have to wait till saturday. I will look at the tire when it gets here and if it seems a lot different, I can always order more. but i know i need at least one, so i will just do that for now.

That sounds like a good way to go, and at most you'll just need to order one more.

If you have ~80% tread left on your other 3 tires, I can't see you needing more than two new tires (for the front or rear axles).

BTW, how did you ruin that one tire so badly?

Thanks, that does seem like the best option for now.

I had to drive in some sand near the beach a couple nights ago and im guessing i ran over a bottle or something. I probably could have saved the tire if i would have just stopped there, but i decided to try to make it home on the little air that was left in the tire. I made it halfway home and stopped to look at it and it was completely flat. So im guessing driving on the rim is what ruined it. the sidewall of the tire is seperating and has a very large hole in it. Very stupid mistake on my part. but i didnt want to walk home from the beach in the rain, and just my luck, i had lost my cell phone earlier that night in the sand dunes.

also, i left my car parked along the road and in the morning there was a large dent in the fender. almost looks as though someone kicked it. I was able to get most of the dent out though by hitting it from the inside.

Anyway, thanks for all the help
