Well this is going to be an expensive trip to get donuts

The first pic makes it look like they have plenty of tread left, so unless they are aged out (over 5 yrs old already), I'd just get one new or used tire and have a shop shave it down to same diameter as the others. That's usually about a $20 charge, maybe $25-30 with inflation.

Tire Rack can also shave a tire to match the wear level.

Ouch that sucks. Tires are crazy expensive, and usually you have to replace all 4 since you'll never find the exact model, but even if you do the wear won't be equal. Got new tires for my truck and it came up to like $2,500. The tires are worth more than the truck itself lol.

We were about 70min from home avoiding highways on the spare. Anyway here's the culprit

View attachment 82187

1/4 but but with the flange its 1/2 and the flange stretched out the puncture (the tire was gripping the flange itself when it was embedded)

On the plus side...you got a new bit for your drill/driver.

Generally on AWD vehicles if you replace one tire you need to change them all as the larger diameter on the new tire (due to less wear ofc) can play havoc with your drivetrain and traction control etc.

That said looks like there is quite a bit of tread on these tires, might be able to get away with replacing just one.

Better to plug it though.

@Exterous what even is that though? Looks like you drove over a pencil or something, but I feel like that shouldnt be able to do that kind of damage to your tire.

So, John Wick killed his tire?

If the tires are less than approx 20% worn you might be okay replacing one or just a pair rather than all 4 .... I drove with a "mismatched" tire on my Outback for literally years and over 80k on the odometer... no issues. (of course I stayed on top of my differential fluid changes too!)

Just be sure to keep driving to a bare minimum if you have a donut installed unless you have a way to disable the rear wheels. (older Scoobys had a fuse you put IN to do this)

Tire Rack will shave a tire too.
