	As others have said tire diameter is the most important thing.  I just 
went through this with my summer tires.

	My advice, buy a tire that closely matches the performance/wear of the 
other three.  Measure the tread depth of the other three, hopefully they 
are all similar.  Order your replacement from Tire Rack.  Call them, do 
not place the order online.  Have them shave the new tire to the same 
tread depth as the other three.  Costs $25.  Can only be ordered over 
the phone.

	I could not find *anyone* local who still shaves tires.

	HTH.
