Default Ok...need recommendation on a good non-directional tire

to use on my spare. I'm buying a used AVUS off someone to use as my spare, b/c my old spare is currently serving full time duty as my front right wheel/tire thanks to the wonderful BQE this past weekend. This AVUS has a "bad tire" on it so i wil likley replace it.

Also how bad is it to run one tire that is brand new (on my former spare) with the other tires having around 9K(i think..man i used to keep meticulous recoreds of how many miles etc...too bad i forgot how much is actually on my summer wheel/tires and how much is on my winter setup) on them? Yes, i know i'll turn left better than right...any other ill side effects

If you plan on just using it as a spare, just get a cheap tire

Default Ask LCP, I'm getting a tire cheap from him!

Maybe he can send two and save on shipping. We're like neighbors, dude.

Just a leftover that I hadn't gotten rid of yet; no others.
