What's the difference between having a slightly different size tire and
going around a corner with the same size tire?  Side to side is open diffs
on both ends, right?  We're talking about 0.5% difference in the
circumference of the tire here.

My B5 S4 has a bad tire from hitting a pothole.  The tires have about
5/32 left on them.

I would like to get at least a few more months out of them.  Will I kill
my Quattro with a 9/32 tire in that one position (I found a used tire of
the same exact size/model).

I know its about due for a set of four but I am still researching what
wheel/tire combo I want to put on it (by "researching" I mean saving up
the money in my wife-doesn't-know-about-it account).
