[s-cars] Do all 4 tires have to be the same

[tedebearp at yahoo.com]

You could also look for a used tire. When one of the tires on my S6 was destroyed, I replaced it with an identical used tire that was worn to about the same depth (maybe had 1/32" more rubber than the other tires). I got it from bestusedtires.com.

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.
