WTB Tires! Please Help!
WTB a cheap set of tires to put on my stock 03 WRX wheels (16's). Does not have to be anything special, just enough to last me a month or so. My front driver side is starting to show tread. I plan on buying new wheels w/ tires within 2 to 3 weeks so I do not want to go out and spend money on brand new tires for my stock wheels.
Also asking, when you replace a tire on an AWD car, Ive heard it makes sense to replace all four tires instead of just the one (or just fronts or rears) because you could ruin the diffs if you rock different tread every where. This true?
An insight and sale thread. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

1: Please change your av to something without ***** (that's the mod talking, sorry.)
2: You can't replace only one tire. (that's the wheel/tire guy talking). It'll damage diffs and cost you way more than a set of tires. Doesn't take long either.
If you have camber wear on only one corner and have no other options, rotate it to the right rear and take it easy for two weeks.
Can you park the car and drive your Corrado? I know the default answer to "can you drive the Corrado" is "no" but figure I'd ask.
