Any AWD owners get a flat? Need some help
Well I didn't get a flat, but I noticed the TPMS came on so when I went to put air in the tires, I noticed one of my tires has a slight bulge in the sidewall and it won't take any air. My guess is this isn't fixable.
So my question is, being AWD, I guess I have to replace the tires with the exact same make and model as my other tires? Technically shouldn't the tread match as well?
The existing tires are Dunlop Winter Graspic DS-2 and have about 9/32nds or 10/32nds left. The problem is I am having a hard time tracking down a replacement.
Would a new tire which has 11/32nds be to mount alongside my used ones?

i had this problems as well, for the best if u have one tire that needs to be replace and all four are pretty new u just need to replace the one with the problem. now if all tires have been used and the thread goin as well its best u replace all four. if u want the cheap route just fix the one that is causing the problem which is what i had done because i was upgradin to new rims and tires.

I had 12000 miles on my car and one of my tires was ruined. Lexus only replaced the one tire. I have the Dunlops too, but unsure of the actual trade depth at the time of the incident.
