AWD folks, flat tire?
I got some continental DWS extreme contacts that came with the car from the dealer, the rear left wheel just blew with a long slice near the center of the tire. Unfixable
1. What do you guys do when you get a flat in a AWD? Do you have to replace all 4 or just replace a pair?
2. I just got a pair of pilot sport a/c 3 for the rear wheels and found out I couldn't mix brands on AWD . How much do you think i could sell the other 3 good wheels for? Continental DWS, i say 4000 miles.

I wonder how that happened....
You technically CAN mix brands, just not a good idea.
Resale value of ANY tire to be honest (in OEM spec) is $25-50 per tire. I'd keep them around in case you ever run into a flat, or you inherit another car with the same diameter tires.... Not worth it to resell it.
GL!

Why not search for a used tire that matches the 3 you have, you may luck out and find one to complete your set, otherwise, consider makeing a tricycle with some funky big wheels.....
