Okay guys I got a nice nail right in my tire... Of course it was where the tire flexes so I need a new tire. ANyway Do you think that i need an alignment after replacing the tire? It is my rear passenger side....

If yor tires are worn, you will definitely need to buy a pair instead of just one.

On AWD cars, if one tire is replaced and all other 3 are old (not the same diameter) you have to replace all 4 tires. I read it in Cars and Drives about a few months back. If you don't do that you will pay more $$ when you center diff is destroyed.
