Replacing Flat Tire Advice

Myxalplyx · #1 07-01-2009, 09:40 PM

I have a set of 235/35-19 Kumhos. One of them have a flat but I REALLY would like to put the 19's back on the car. I probably have somewhere between 2500 - 3500 miles on the tires. I only need to replace the flat tire since the cut is in the sidewall.

Can I just replace the one tire or do you recommend replacing all four?

Might get by with only one. I would check the thread depth on all the good tires and possibly the ones on the rear, would be worn slightly enough less to be able to get it within tolerance with the best positioning on front and rear.

You could always just get the new tire shaved to match the old ones. It depends on how much tread difference there is between the new tire and the tires already on the car.

I got lucky and got a used replacement tire with exactly the same treadwear for $40.00. Check the local online sales.
