So did you already do the tire fix? What did you decide on?

i ended up just replacing the badly worn 381 with an identical pirelli so that the front matches now...i figured the savings i'd get in gas over the long run wouldn't make up for the additional cost of replacing multiple tires...we'll see if i made the better choice or not...
