This happened when I swapped my winter tires on my LMs for some all seasons... [down]...

It's a good thing it happened at the tire shop rather than while I was driving, but I'm still pissed b/c these tires still had a fair bit of life/thread in them... I don't have the exact thread depth, but I'm sure they could have lasted at least another 2 winters.

Now can I still use 2 of them and just buy another 2, or should I just replace all 4? This is most definitively annoying... [mad]...

I've never heard anything good out of Vredestein Tires unfortunately. Heck I didn't like the sessentas? I had on my OEM RS4's... I vote get all new rubbers for 4, and write this as a lesson learned. Probably don't want the rolling diameter to be greater then 3% anyways.
