Tire question

Had a flat and needed a new tire shaved down to match other 3.

The tires are hankook Ventus2 concept.

They no longer make these but came out with a newer version.

Everything is same between the tires except the thread pattern a little different.

Think it will be okay?

I would stick with the same series tire/tread pattern. You can get tires shaved at Custom Allignment in Mountain View. I keep a spare set of cheap stock wheels with tires mounted for emergencies like this.
