Question About Tyres...... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys!!! Ive got a little problem here and I wonder if you can help.On Friday night my wife used our Corolla sedan and she hit a pothole and destroyed the front left tyre.My question is this: Should I replace both front tyres or can I buy just one??? Ive had the front tyres on the car for 2 months as I bought 2 the last time she busted one of them!!!! Im running 195/50-15 Dunlop tyres on Konig Flatline rims.Any help would be appreciated.....

first step is to make sure the rim isnt bent or warped from the impact. Next if the other tire still has a lot of tread on it then just find the same tire and put it on. If the other tire is about gone just go ahead and buy both. The most important thing is to make sure the rim isnt damaged. But it isnt a good idea to run two different tires especially on your drive wheels.

I know.....the tyres have plenty of tread left on them.Im having the dilema because I know that as much as the tires look fine they are always going to be more worn than the new one and it bothers me to have one new and one worn tyre as my drive wheels.....
