as luck would have it i was leaving the garage today, truck swerved which caused me to swerve... right into a pot hole and then in return another pot hole. Well I bring my car now with two flats (thank god for stock rims, which i used for spares) over to town fair tire and ask if they could replace the two tires on the front. He begins to tell me that they no longer make the tires i have in the rear (which i just purchased 8 months ago from them), and that since it is an awd car I have no choice but to replace all 4 tires with the same tires or else i will ruin the drivetrain. is this true? could i find something similar in tread pattern, or am i screwed and have to buy all new tires?

They need to be the same size, not the same tire.

what if you pop 1 tire, and get a new tire and the other 3 are about 50% thread left? okay or no?

You should replace 2 tires, not one.

You should keep the circumference (front to rear) within 5% difference.

well I popped 1 tire and ended up buying 4 new tires, it was due anyways, bout 30% thread left.
