About 1 1/2 years ago, slight collision repair on my daughters car, they mounted a non-matching tire. I pointed out their mistake, and they willingly mounted a matching tire. So when I bring the car home and open the trunk, there is the unmounted mismatched tire. I store it in the garage, unwrapped.
So now, my wife's 2010 Camry is in need of tires, coincidentally the same size as the NOS tire in the garage. Since that specific tire is still available, do I consider buying three new, and use the other to make up the set? What's the conventional wisdom? Worth the risk? Thanks, Andys |
