My Dunlop SP Sport 9000 blew...what to do?

Damn these L.A. streets. Hit a friggin pot-hole. My other tires are fine and have about 70% tread left. I'm looking on eBay to replace it with another used tire. I don't see any others of the same brand and model available.

My question to you wise men is what brand/model would make a good replacement for this tire if I can't find another?

BTW, the tire being replaced is a Dunlop SP Sport 9000 255/35zr/18

Gracias!

I see Dunlop SP Sport 9000 in http://www.1010tires.com/tiresearch....3&lasttire=302

It's always better to keep the same model of tires to all 4 corners of the car. If one of them is damaged and you cannot buy another tire of the same model, make sure you choose the tire of similar characteristics as the old ones. It's important that you change both sides.

In summary, change 1 tires if same model, change 2 tires if different model.

Does the difference in thread wear cause asymmetrical drag and pulling to one side?
