well to make a long story short, was driving today.....hit pothole..... flat tire...
my question is I have 4 snow tires and now i have 3 snows, and 1 flat... can i put one of my summer tires on (same size) but with less tread on it, or do i have to put all 4 summers on to kinda even it out, or just replace the rear tires( the pass. rear has the flat)??? im looking to possible get new rims, or perhaps powder coat my stock rims and get new tires by spring time... any help would be great...

I had to replace one of my tires but the ones i needed were discontinued. So i just got a tire with similar thread wear and all that. And I havent had any problems at all

 

well what i was thinking on doing was seeing how the summer tire has little tread is that i was going to keep the 3 snows on, an 1 summer, and keep changing the summer one with one of the other 3 i have until spring time hits

 

if the tread is fairly similar in terms of usage I don see it being a huge issue...however then the summer tire on the car now will have more wear than the other three

 

well the summer tries have a little less tread then hte winter ones...

 

Not a good idea mixing any tires let alone a summer only with a dedicated snow. Car is going to handle quite poorly. Also run the risk of more winter weather coming with summer tires on which will do zero for you in the cold let alone snow/ice conditions. Best thing to do is get another snow and do the switch over when it warms up.
