I got a flat on my back from a long road trip, and arrived home with the spare. I have stock Toyo proxyes A05s and was wondering what should I do. The puncture is in the side wall so it can't be repaired? The tires are 28K, so might as well change all four? Or buy a cheap one now and replace all four later? And should I put it in the back to minimize noise? Safety?

Please help
Thanks

See if you can find a used one.

If not, this might be a great opportunity to upgrade.

I agree with noflash. My wife got 43K out of her Toyos. So unless you're really hard on your tires, there's probably a lot of life left on yours. Try to find a used A05 if you can. If not, replace all four tires and sell your 3 good Toyos on the cheap to help defray the cost.

If anything, buy a new pair and put them on the front, then replace the backs later.

Is it possible to repair the tire with the side wall damage?

NO

how about buy two new ones and put them in the back, wear out the two old ones and replace them?

I'm in NYC, specifically, Queens. Does anyone know any good place to sell my old tires or buy used ones?

I got the similar problem. I have a crack on the side on passanger side rear. I'm going to order Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 235/45/17 (i got 17x7.5 wheels) from Costco $215 each including balance, installation, insurance and lifetime rotation and re-balancing. Is this a good price?
