I am in a 2011 GSR with the BBS rims. I was running Michelin Alpin Pilots 245/40 R18 and had a rear blow out. The remaining 3 Tires are at about 75to80% wear.
Question? Can I buy one replacement tire and add it to the roster? Will it greatly affect the performance of my car. Im kinda thinking that I should replace all 4 but it the price is scary. Also where in Spokane can a guy get the best deal on tires. I am in Castlegar BC and Spokane is the closest US city to me.
Does anyone need any Tires. I would practically give them away if they were truly needed.
Thanks

 

tire rack offers a tire shaving service if I remember correctly. you can order a tire from them and have them shave it down to match the tread depth of the rest of your tires

 

and i wouldn't run a mismatched tire on the evo.

i found a link to the tire shaving on tire rack i was talking about

How many mm of tread do the others have exactly, and how much tread would be on a brand new tire? If your within 2mm you should be fine. Anymore than that I would look into shaving the new tire down.

 

Best to have the one tire shaved by us or to buy a pair so one axle matches. Contact me directly when ready!

 

Tire shaving. Never thought of it. I will look into it further. thanks for your help fellows. Cheers
