I just changed my flat tire and took a look at it. There was a screw right on the shoulder of the tire (where it goes from the flat contact patch to the sidewall) so Im pretty sure thats not repairable right? You can only patch tires on the flat bottom part right?

Should I just replace all four tires? I'm still riding on the stock michelins at 32k miles. The tread is not horrible, but im not sure exactly how much is left.

Or is it possible to just replace two? Or one? What do you guys think? Is it worth it to just change them all to 225/55/16 ContiextremeContacts for around 400 or should I just get two or one stock michelin?

Arg, so frustrating...

You need to replace at least two tires. However, at 32k miles, unless money is tight I would just get all four. I think that's what you really want to hear anyway.

I feel your pain! I had one flat tire last week and went to get it repaired. There was a hole on the inside sidewall that could not be repaired.

I had 50K miles on my stock tires, so my decision was easy. The place I was at did not have the ContiExtremeContacts in stock, so I settled for some Dunlop Sport A2s, 225/55/16.

What a difference! Great handling! Replace all four tires, you won't be disappointed! I can't believe new tires would make that much difference.
