warn tires?

[turboTSi1320]

I might buy a used set of rims of my buddy for a great deal. The only problem is that one tire has a blown out side wall. Is it going to mess my AWD car to have 1 new tire and 3 old ones?

Most tire shops carry used tires. I'd recommend trying to find a used one in the same size as yours, and preferrably in a similar wear condition. It'll be cheaper than a new one also.

with an AWD car you want the tires at each end of the car to be as close to the same diameter as possible. if anything, just get two new tires.

It's always a better idea to give the tires some idea of what's coming up instead of surprising them. They're prone to panic.

Yeah, no kidding. One of mine hid under the bed for 3 days. Made getting to work a bit of a chore.
