flat tire replacement
I managed to blow out my tire on a pot hole. I'm gonna have it looked at to see if its savable first. But, would i need to replace all 4 tires? I'd get the same type: Continental Contact DWS. The ones I have are about 7,000 miles in.
I have a 2006 IS250AWD

I would say no with only 7k miles but most tire shops will not let you replace only one if the difference is to great and could ruin your car due to the different rolling radius of a new versus older tire on an AWD.

I was in the same boat, 7k miles, conti DWS
but then i took a pothole in the tire... one tire gone....
asked the tire shop and they said that 7k miles would probably be fine
so i changed one tire and still running good....

I have a stock tire that has like 12,000 miles on it. Got a replacement after being rear ended year ago. The tread is different, but would it be possible to maybe use that until my new tire (this week) comes in or stick with the spare tire?

Oky if it's the passenger side :
In Case of of Right side driving place the new tire on the right side .
In Case of Left side driving place the new tire on left side.
It;s known fact that the tire on driver side wear much the passenger side since most turns on that side.
