so my front right rim has been bent for about a month now and i could see it was wearin the tire enevenly, makin the inside of the front right wear damn fast. so i looked at it yesterday and somehow it's deteriorated the tire a ton in the last 3 days to the point that my tire's showin thread now. should i not drive the car at all until i get a new tire? and all of my tires are pretty worn bc i have Kumho Ecsta MXs, so they wear pretty rapidly. do i need to buy 4 new tires now? or can i get away with just one, or a pair? and if my wheels's slightly bent(i feel a small vibration in the steerign wheel), can balancing fix the problem or is it there until i buy a new rim? goddamn these MM Evo 5s, i love the look but they're sooooo soft

Always buy in pairs.

..if the tires had more tread on em, it might be worth it to buy it and have the place shave it down to match the rest.. but if they're all worn.. at least buy two like saturnine said..
