  • You must change your life. -Rainer Maria Rilke
I have a 2009 Kia Rondo that I was planning to sell in the next few months- Im currently looking on CL for a used car.
Tonight, driving home, both tires on the driver side blew out. Husband ran over one of those sewer head things sticking up from the road (its being repaved, so these things stick out all over the place, and can be hard to avoid. it was night and raining, not ideal driving conditions anyway, and furthermore, one of the tires was patched a few months ago and when that happened, the guy said the others all had nails but werent losing pressure at that point.)

anyway, thoughts on my best solution, dont want to sink a ton of money on all new tires in a car Im going to sell soon.
can I get two tires and have the other two put in the front? or do I have to buy all four?

thoughts?

You can just buy two used tires for cheap that will last until you sell it.

Otherwise, just buy two new ones, as long as the others aren't losing air.

We just bought 2 used tires for a car we're about the sell. It only cost $60.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
