So I had some fun and ended up with a leaking rear tire. I'm still new to the car scene can and was wondering if I can just replace that 1 tire or do I have to replace all 4? The car is a CPO with 44k km and just went in for service last week and was told 8.5/32 9/32 on the tires.

I'm not even sure the exact model my car has, quick googling says it should be the Bridgestone Turanza EL 400 2

My plan is just going to a good tire shop first thing in the morning but would like some input first. I would love to get some good tires on her but at the moment I just don't feel comfortable dropping that much on tires.

When I got out of the car I could hear the air escape, it wasn't huge but it was on the tire wall and when I put my hand against it I can hear the tear closing a bit.

Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks all!

You will be fine replacing just the one tire.

They ain't cheap but they are available.. I went to Johnston Magwood at Burnhamthorpe & Mavis Rd is Mississauga to get mine when I got a puncture that couldn't be repaired.

How much did the rear cost ya? Based on reviews it seems Im going to KiplingTire right when they open. Did they have any trouble with the tpms?

I doubt that your tires are close to new. If it were me, I'd change all four (or at the very least both on the same axle) because you don't want to put additional stress on the AWD diffs.

To be honest I don't recall the exact price but I think it was around $250 plus install.

Its an OEM tire so chances are they will have to order it. I had to wait one day to get mine but it was in stock at Bridgestone's distribution.

There was no issue with the TPMS, the shop i deal with does high end stuff so it wasn't an issue and any decent tire shop shouldn't have a problem.

I see that's good to know, I wonder how much ken shaw lexus would charge as they're 10 minutes away from my house. If Kipling Tire doesn't have any I'll give the dealer a call. I just need it on tomorrow morning and I'm willing to pay a bit extra.

I have 4 OEM tires that I took off my OEM rims. Used for about 2000kms

Let me know if you would like to buy them.
