Tire replacement problem.
I have Pirelli Super Sports on my TT. due to the accident, the repair shop needs to replace one of them. Problem is they don't make them any more. I don't wanna replace all four since the other 3 are in good condition still. They are directional wheels, but the replacement that pirelli makes now is not directional.... is that going to be a problem?

Call Pirelli
Go to the Pirelli web site and find the number to call Pirelli. Maybe they can find you a tire that matches. Generally it is not a good idea to mix types of performance tires, so maybe you either need to find the exact tire from old warehouse stock or replace all four even it you do not want to.

Called tire rack
They said no way should I mix different traction of tires on a quattro car, and I should replace all of them at once.
I then called my dealership and he said that it really wouldn't make a big difference and certainly wouldn't hurt the quattro.
What do you guys think?
