Sucks. Nail ruined the side wall on my rear right tire. Got the car new in August of last year and it has about 4500 miles on it so the tread on the other tires is pretty good. Is it ok to run a new tire on the same axle as the old tire? Will it cause alignment issues or drive train damage? Should I just get to new rears? Meh..This sucks.

Thanks
