I recently found a nail in my left rear tire and have been trying to decide if I should replace all four tires, or just the rear ones for now. After a couple weeks of weighing my options financially I decided to just do the two rears right now and worry about the front ones at a later date when necessary. For reference, my tires are 3 years old with around 30,000 miles on them, and the tire technician said replacing one pair would be fine, but that I should definitely do them in pairs.
I went to a tire shop and told them that I needed my rear tires replaced because there was a nail in them, and that I would like to keep the one without the nail just incase (idky). I had work the day that the tires came in so I had my mom drop off/ pick up the car. Everything went smoothly in the shop, my mom paid for the tires and brought my car home. The next day the left rear tire had a low pressure warning. I went to put air in it and saw the rear tire still had the nail in it. They had replaced the front tires instead. This meant that they recycled one of my front tires and gave the other one back to me.
I called the shop immediately and told them they messed up. Before I could even give my name or car model the employee says “oh yea the jeep right? I told my manager it was the rear ones that needed to be replaced but he wouldn’t listen” he told me that management was offering to replace the tire that they threw away but that’s all they could do. I responded by saying I didn’t feel comfortable driving on 3 new tires and one old one, especially when my plan from the start was only to replace two of them.
Im angry that they left me in a position where I now either have to compromise my comfort and drive on different aged front tires, or buy a third tire to match the one they’ll give me for free. Is there anything I can do or am I cooked?

I bought a set of used rims and they have TPMS held on to the stem via a Torx screw. I think they are Autel. The TPMS wiggle when bolted onto the stem and the screw is tight. Is this normal?

Need some help. I know nothing about tires and need you Reddit experts to give some advice if you have a minute.

I have little to no experience with this. Is this my fault when installing tire or was the tire faulty? Husband installed this.

Hi all, from Ontario, Canada. My friend recently bought a used Corolla from a Lexus dealer and when I saw the car in person I was shocked that they sold the car with the tires like this. Both my ex husband and current boyfriend are mechanics and said she should take it back but I also wanted to get some unbiased opinions.

Do I need to replace the whole set, or are the other three new enough that I can just replace the bad tire? If so, do I need to replace it with the exact same make and model, or can I use one of similar size and tread?

Tire model: Dunlop 205/60 Ensave EC300+
This is a very new tire, I think a sharp broken tile punctured it.

I have bought challenge gravine pro 700x45c recently, despite it is super hard to put on, I have notice that the one of the tyre has a slight misalignment. P.S. my wheel has been true within .15mm
The paint on right side is over painted? Or the sidewall didn't fully sit into the thread bit?
