Hi, For the second time in 2 years I got a nail through the tire too close to the sidewall for repair. First time I replaced all 4 tires. Now its supposed to be bad to put a new tire on with 3 half worn , recommended to replace 2 rear, preferably all 4. that's pushing $800 for a set, effectively throwing away 3 good tires. So can anyone tell me why its such a bad idea? (Spares a different brand with full tread) Surely the drivetrain compensates for the different wheel rotations in normal driving anyway so why the problem? Traction control should compensate for the worn tire slipping? Don't suggest part worn tires from resellers, they are all crap. JC
