Rear tire exploded on the way to work this morning, so I had to put on a 235/40/18 tire from my evo on the rear rim. Now one rear is 245/40/18 and the other 235/40/18.
I don't want to hurt the car by driving it much. I can swap the other Monday.
Can I get away with it for a couple of days??
Btw, our jacks SUCK! Same jack as my Audis had. Total crap! Car almost fell on my leg.

Hey bro since your kinda local I have 2 conti sport 2s that you could have for like 50 bucks let me go see if I still have them.
I also have a few other sets of tires since I went threw a tire phase trying to find tires to put down my power.

Thanks for the offer bro, I'll keep it in mind. The thing is these are winter tires, and for summer I have 20's. But I may need a spare or two though.
So watsup guys, can I drive on these?!

I would't worry, I ran mismatched rears on my S class when I had a blowout for a week without any issues. Tire shop said as long as the profiles were reasonably close (as yours are) you'll be fine

^^ Great, thank you. Exactly what I was hoping to hear. I know upto like 2.5% play is allowed and this is just about 1.5%..
I find it funny that I burned through my winter tire before winter even started. Lol.
