Default What to Do??? A tire Question....

so through the pics I posted, apparently this forum decided that someone must have taken a screwdriver to my front right tire(sidewall). My question now is what to do? I am running on Kumho Ecsta Supra tires with alittle more than 50% tread life on them. The spare I am driving on now is a Pirelli P6000. I can only pay for one new tire right now. Should I get a new Kumho and just have one w/ 50% treadlife and one w/ 100%? Should I get another P6000 and have Pirelli's on the front and old Kumhos in the back? Accually,,the car drives just fine right now with one P6000 and 3 kuhmos, should I do anything to it at all and just purchase a cheap spare? what to do?...

Default order a new Kumho, and have it shaved to 50% treadlife so that it matches your others (more)

I'm pretty sure that TireRack offers this service, and I believe someone on this forum had tirerack do this for him.
