Default How bad is this???

On a scale of 1 (not too bad) to 10 (dont even consider it)....

I just blew one tyre. Now, I have Eagles on there, which have fuck all grip. I can get 1 Bridgestone to replace it for $60.

Eventually I'll get a whole new set of tyres, but in the meantime, will this be OK or ultra dodgey....?

1

At least one tyre will have grip, the other 3 will have no traction, meaning you can do awesome nuts whilst rotating on that one tyre with heaps of grip!!!

10 Just change them all. You said the others have no grip anyways..

Applies to everyone really Why spend 20K+ on a car only to skimp on brakes / tyres / suspension. Thats whats keeping you on the road remember!

Tight ass!!! 10
Spend the coin on fresh rubber all round. Otherwise you will be replacing tyres 1 and 3 at a time...

Also don't forget that if they have different rolling diametres (ie some with a lot more wear then others) then you'll be putting extra stress on the diffs.
