Yea so I just popped my tire and I was wondering should I get some new rims. How long can I drive with the spare? How much does oem tire cost at the dealer?

The spare tire is designed for low speeds, to be put on the rear of the car and to be replaced ASAP. It is in no means a replacement tire.

A replacement tire should be pretty super cheap.

IMO: Get new rims and tires... use the OEM wheels for winter, sell your remaining tires if possible.

Cheaper route: Jus buy another OEM tire.

Yah, dont risk running on that spare. Better to just find a cheapo tire some place. Ask discount tires or something. Shouldn't be to bad and it is a lot better then causing possible damage.

I got a replacement tire when I blew the sidewall out on on of my stocks for about $105 brand new (different company). And recently I blew another sidewall and got a used (Yokohama) tire for $40 with more tread than the rest of my tires
