Had a bad tear in one of the tires and has to be replaced. Tire shop suggests replacing 2 as other tires are different and 17k miles old.
Questions for experts:
- Should I replace two if I get the same OEM brand/model? ~$140 per tire
- If I replace two, can I upgrade these two to 245/50 instead to current 225/25? Diameter comes to the same number for both and 245/50 has more and better options like: BFGOODRICH G-FORCE COMP-2 A/S at $172 per
- Should I try getting a somewhat old but same tire and use that instead? Expect to get one at $100 from a private party.
- Or go with a new pair of the original size 225/55 like Continental TrueContact at $190 and try to sell the remaining good for now OEM tire?
