I managed to blow out my tire on a pot hole. I'm gonna have it looked at to see if its savable first. But, would i need to replace all 4 tires? I'd get the same type: Continental Contact DWS. The ones I have are about 7,000 miles in.

I have a 2006 IS250AWD

 

Am also replacing my O.E tire Bridgestone Potenza RE050 to ContinentalContact 3 ...

 

I would say no with only 7k miles but most tire shops will not let you replace only one if the difference is to great and could ruin your car due to the different rolling radius of a new versus older tire on an AWD.

 

With only 7K miles,I'd just change that tire and the other tire on the other side if necessary.

 

front or back tires? front tires tend to wear out faster on ours car but I guess you can just change one tire but I recommend either both the fronts or backs to kinda match it

 

I did change one tire a year ago .. what they did is basically move the new tire to place where most of turns happen depend on driving side!

 

front tire, passenger side.

 

I suggest you change both the front tires then since you have a AWD, the uneven threads might mess up the AWD system or at least thats what I heard if you just change one tire

 

I was in the same boat, 7k miles, conti DWS
but then i took a pothole in the tire... one tire gone....

asked the tire shop and they said that 7k miles would probably be fine
so i changed one tire and still running good....

 

I have a stock tire that has like 12,000 miles on it. Got a replacement after being rear ended year ago. The tread is different, but would it be possible to maybe use that until my new tire (this week) comes in or stick with the spare tire?

 

Oky if it's the passenger side :

In Case of of Right side driving place the new tire on the right side .
In Case of Left side driving place the new tire on left side.

It;s known fact that the tire on driver side wear much the passenger side since most turns on that side.
