Depending on the hole, you could get it patched from the inside (cheapest) to stop the leak, or replaced. I'd replace both rears as a pair and both fronts as a pair to help it not hurt the wallet as much, and replace a single tire unless there's less than a 1/32" of difference between the replaced tire and the new tire (meaning it's practically brand new). The exception to this is if you're changing brands and/or models...then I'd do all 4. That's my opinion on it. |

According to the Bridgestone website, the tires come new with 10/32" tread depth. You guys (and me) are burning through these tires faster than you think. If they wear too quickly for you, your next set of tires should have a treadwear rating better than the 140 that these post.
(see attached with right-most column listing car the tires comes installed on)

I'm at just over 17k miles and I am buying new tires. Spirited driving plus 2 track days have done them in.
Really noticeable right now especially in the rain.
