Tire Help
Hi everyone,
Its been a while since I've posted but I hope you can help me out. I have a '02 MN6 Coupe and today I was on my way up to Morroco, Indiana's US 41 drag strip to see my brother race his Camaro and when I was about 40 miles from I heard a noise that sounded like I ran over something and maybe a minute later I a REDUCE SPEED warning and and it says my right rear tire went flat. So I had no choice but to limp home at 55mph.
I don't see any sign of a puncture in the tire so I'm not sure how it went flat. My car has about 18,600 miles on it and the tires really look OK.
Would it be OK to get just one new tire?
Thanks in advance,
Sprags

How many miles are on the tires? I would recommend getting at least two, replace the other side too. You can probably get away with just one.

Check and see what the tread depth is on the other tires. If the other rear tires is getting low on tread, get two.
