You really should install the same model tires as you already have as you dont want to have different model/brands on the same axle! As for the price, you should also post the make, model and sizes of your tires so that others might try and dig up some better deals for you. :)

Maybe look for part worms of the same type? (some on here in for sale section).

I'd be worried about having a new tyre on one side and a worn on the other...? I thought tyres were meant to be fairly matched in terms of wear.

Also agree, do not have different tyres on the same axel.

Or take it as an opportunity to switch all Four to non run flats as these are cheaper usually anyway.
