I have a v6 camaro with ss wheels and tires one of the back tires got a nail in it beyond repair, and my other back tire has about half the thread left. Should i change both the back tires or just one. Take into consideration that it is rear wheel drive. If i only change one tire could this have a negative effect on the car?
Can having one odd tire mess with my car because one tire spins faster than the other?
I am also selling the car in six months what should i do?
please help

if you are selling it just change the one it should not hurt anything

Get a couple of good used tires or 1 tire in the same condition/wear as the good one since you will be selling it shortly.

I would say replace both tires. I know you are selling in 6 months, but thats just what I would do. You can also do what was stated above and get some used ones. But 6 months is still a bit of time.

I would get two new ones but also finding a used one with similar wear is also a good suggestion.

Turns out that the guy at discount tire who said it was non repairable was wrong.
i went to a shop and they replaced it easily
now i have to go to discount try and see if they will take back their tire they sold me
i doubt they will
