Which tire to order from this list? Need help asap

[jingramm]

I need to replace one of my tires tomorrow morning after running over a bad screw and the tire size is 215/55r17. It's a Nissan Altima lease that I've had for only 8 months and it came with Michelin tires.

I'm probably just going to buy a replacement tire from Walmart. Any recommendations on which one to get? http://www.walmart.com/c/kp/215-55r17-tires

If you're replacing just one, get the same make and model of tire. If you order from tire rack they can even shave the tire if needed.

can't just patch the tire? Americas tire does a pretty good job of patching tires. Otherwise, just get the same make and model tire.

If he has only had it 8 months I doubt he has put enough miles on it for it to make a difference.

Just get the same tire and have it installed.

A screw in the tread is nothing, that can be fixed.

If it is in the shoulder or sidewall though that is a different story.

America's Tire/Discount Tire will generally patch tires for free, even if they didn't sell you the tire. As long as the tire is safely patchable (hole is in the tread), it will be "good as new," and there's no reason to get a new tire instead of patching.

Maybe, maybe not. A lot of shops will tell you its too worn to install 1 tire though. Shaving is the solution to that if it pops up. Most shops don't offer it as an option.

if it isn't on a drive axle, doesn't matter about the wear.

Unless the abs is super sensitive perhaps?

maybe. I've yet to see a car freak out over that unless the car depends on tread depth to figure out if the car has a flat tire. My cars use TPMS sensors in wheels so it's not nearly as relevant.
