Nail in shoulder, replace one or two tires?
Hey all, got into an unfortunate meeting with a nail in the shoulder of one of my tires on my g37x this morning.
My tread depth on my tires are 6/32nds, is there any potential issue with replacing just the front driver side tire with a new tire at 10/32nds? Or do I need to replace the two front, or all four?
I would assume this different is much less than the tolerance of the AWD system, but wanting to make sure.

I assume you don't have road hazard coverage? If less than a year it might fine to just replace it with one but I'd measure the treads first to see how much you've worn them out. I've heard if you buy a tire from tirerack you can ask them shave it down to match your existing tires and would likely be cheaper than buying two.

If you're down to 6/32nds from 10/32nds, you're probably looking at a four corner replacement. That's a pretty large difference. That or see if you can get a new tire shaved down to match the depth of the others.
