YAY my knowledge on this board will come in handy for once.
The only reason you would need to buy all 4 would be if the wear on them is substantial. The rule of thumb is put a penny, with lincolns head down,in between the treads. If the top of his head is showing then you would need to just replace all 4 tires. Now if its not, but close, i would say change just the two tires. But if you still have alot of tread left, thats if it is a 75,000 mile rated tire, just change the one to match the other three.

it is just hard to tell from the picture you have, how much wear it has.

I'm pretty sure just their high end gold rated power supplies are made by seasonic.

According to this chart, Seasonic makes all of XFX's PSUs LINK

Would these pictures help? Each pic is of a different tire

from the pics i would just replace the one tire, but depending on if the vehicle is rear wheel or front wheel drive i would rotate. If its a front wheel drive vehicle i would just say put the new tire on, but if its a rear wheel drive i would put the tries from the front onto the back. I am taking it that it was the rear passanger tire that was blown out. you seem to have more than enough tread left on the tires. Lastly if you have the spare on the rear and it is a rear wheel drive it is best to put it on the front. You do not want your vehicle pulling traction on the spare tires if you do not have to.
P.S. before going anywheres dont forget to check the pressure in the spare.

The tread is good. They probably needed to be rotated anyway though.
Front wheel drive?

Awesome, thanks for the help. Was dreading the possibility of putting $600 into a new tires (they're 225/65R17)
It's a 2010 Honda CRV front-wheel drive. Yes, the damaged tire is the rear passenger.
So, I assume you live in BR. Any tire shop recommendations? I live in Central, so the closer to me the better.

Looks like they got rid of there crappy lower end ones around the new year.
Those tires look like they havr plenty of tread. I used to drive my jeep on bald cooper MTs. Every time I tried to brake in the rain I would slide a good bit

I just went and put my spare on about 20 minutes ago. I had a huge piece of metal in mine turned sideways in the tread. Probably came from a job site. It's patchable but I do so much hauling that I am just going to replace my rear two tires. I will move what's in the front now to the back and put two new ones on the front.

Yeah, all I've read online is how shitty the OEM tires are on Hondas, and how they only last a year. She's been using these tires since we bought it in September 2010. Her CRV is a the EX model, which falls between the basic no-frills model with hubcaps and the luxury one with navigation and leather seats. Maybe the tires are better on those upper models. But it's not like she puts a lot of stress on them. Just commutes to and from work with the occasional bins of supplies in the back.

i use to live in BR, I moved back to NOLA recently. Depending on the brand of tire, seeing not all tire stores carry them, i would first say try Sams, they are simple and easy to use. If not them i would go to tire kingdom next, on essen right by the interstate. If not tire kingdom i would find another "Official" tire dealer. Due to the reason if something goes wrong with the tire while you are on the road, that company will honor your road hazard at any of its locations. Lastly i would go to the dealer, they tend to be the most expensive. Stay away from mom and pop shops. Like i said before if your in florida and you get a blow out, you are looking to buy a whole new tire if that one goes out. Seeing i doubt they will have a shop there.
Edit: the reason i say depending on the brand is, it is always best to match the tire if it all possible.

Sears is really good as well and usually has fair prices. I would go to them after Sam's and before I went anywhere else.

I always felt like I got ripped off at sears
Posted on 8/8/13 at 2:52 pm to Mr Gardoki
Sears will price match anyone. Even a local mom and pop shop so you if you got ripped off it's your own fault.
