Haarrr :( As I you can see on the attached picture I got a pretty bad flat tire last night crossing a rail road with strong rain fall. I don't know what was on the road other than the tracks but it was pretty much a flat on the spot. Anyway now I have to replace the tire and I'm not sure what to do.

I really don't want to spend a fortune on this right now but I have 15000 miles on all tires. Should I change both front tires or will it be fine to change just one? The tread looks fine but its hard to tell not having a new tire at hand to compare true heights. If I only change the flat tire will I feel it when driving? I suppose I could decide afterwards? Any body as some advice? Thanks

Greg

The shop did not have the tire at hand so I'm going back tomorrow but he has sent out for the order for one tire. If I need two I probably should call him back quickly.

Anybody?

No big deal. I Think I'll just replace the one tire and see how it drives...
