    I blew out my front passenger tire on my BBS rims and I'm looking for a replacement tire. My other 3 tires are pretty used but I really don't want to buy 4 new tires yet.

    Preferably a take off tire because I'm looking to spend little to no money lol.

    Be careful doing that. the AWD system needs the rolling diameter of the tires to be within a specific amount. I can't recall what the number is, but I'm sure someone will chime in with it.

    I'm also not positive, but I believe all 4 tires must be within 4/32 of each other. That is rolling diameter, not just tread depth. That is not a lot of tolerance.
    Some places will shave tires, but by the time you get done messing with that, 4 new or used tires may be the better alternative.
    Check Craig's list. You might be able to find an entire set on there.

    Subaru tolerance is 2/32 most other awd systems have a tolerance of 4/32...6 years in the tire business/ our company policy but I'm not sure of the exact reasoning why Subaru is so precise vs other AWD.

    All season tire or tire zoo is your best bet. Google it
