picked up a nail in my right front tire. probably can't be patched since it's right on the shoulder/edge and it's not a flat surface.

much as i'd love to upgrade the tires, it doesn't make much sense since there's only 9k miles on the car and the other 3 tires have lots of tread left.

anybody know a place to get a cheap stock (17") tire? posted in my local forum, but i doubt anybody would want to sell a single tire without the wheel.

any good reason not to replace the tire with a different tire like a general exclaim uhp, or kumho ecsta? something just doesn't feel right about having a single tire different from the other three--even though i did it on my last car in a pinch.
