need input on my situation

Mike Z · 03-02-2013, 06:27 PM

Had my front left tire slashed by some unknown person last week and im trying to figure out the best way to resolve this issue. Went to tire shop and they told me it would be best to replace all 4 tires since they look worn out(i have 14k miles on the tires). Not sure if they are trying to convince me to spend more money but either way I just walked out of the shop trying to look for another option. Can I replace just the 1 tire or would it that mess up the alignment or something? I have the sport package tires(19" rays) and the tires go for around $300-400 a piece. What would you do in this situation considering you are on a tight budget?? Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Buy a used tire... But at 14k miles, it's possible your rears are both gone

I doubt your front tires are bald in 14k miles

14,000 is a decent amount if they are the stock SP tire.
