what a f'ing night...blew up my rear passenger tire tonight on the stevenson! ****! PAGING LUKE!

i cant believe what a day i have had today. i blew out the right passenger side of my 19" 235/35/19 kuhmo mx tire.

and on top of that, while changing out the tire, i f'ing lost my wheel lock key after i put my stock tire on!

so my first question, is how long can i go riding on one tire which is 225/45/17 on my stock B5 wheel (17x7.5) with the other 3 tires being 235/35/19 on 19x8.5 GT3s? am i going to do any major damage with this!? my guess its obviously not a good idea.

next, what do you guys recommend i replace. 1 or 2 tires and how should i rotate the tires?

LUKE @ TIRE-RACK PLEASE RESPOND!

what a night...

well ...

I would not run very long at all on the spare tire ... as far as getting a replacement I can easily have 1 there tomorrow but, since we are only talking about 1 tire on a quattro I would measure the remaining 3 tires for tread depth .... and the basic rule of thumb is 7/32" or more just put a new tire on if 6/32" or less shave the new tire to match. We can shave the new tire to any tread depth you need and still have it to you tomorrow

bottom line call me ASAP
