So I had a tire blow out on the 401 last weekend (front passanger) in the middle of nowhere. Luckely I pulled of the highway right behind a service pick-up. While I was putting my spare on, he called his garage to see if they had my tire size. They did, so I followed him.
I get there and they say that they only have a used one, same size...ok...
I needed to get to Toronto fast for a wedding so I accepted. They installed it and put it rear passanger side (to not screw up my handling).
So I get back from my weekend in Toronto and after reading messages on this board I'm not too sure about it anymore. Since then, I have travelled a total of 1500 km.
I have approximatlely 8000 km on my tires.
I have 3 x Yokohama Advan A83 88V with 8000 km
and 1 x Michelin HX MXM4 93V with ??? km + 1500 km
all are 205/50R17
I checked Tirerack.com and when new, both of these tires have the same diameter.
So should get a new tire (same as other three and shave it if needed) or keep this one?
Do you need to replace all of your tires?? Read first before making a thread.
