Question what would you do in these case

so today my mom found 3 nails in two of my tires, two in the passenger rear and 1 in the driver rear. so i take it to discount tire to try to get them patched. which couldnt cause they were to close to each other so i had to buy a new tire. so he goes out to expect my car. then tells me i need two more tires cause the front ones are worn out. ( less then 3/10ths i believe he said. so i was like damn. we go in to see how much.......275 for the original tire that came with the car. i was like holy ****. but luckly he was out and i got some cheaper better lookin tires with more grip and thread.

the one tire with 1 nail in it i kept to patch and used again. and was thinking i should just one buy more tire and stick on the back.

long story short i bought two tires, to replace the rear tires with the nails. but while they were putting em on i was thinking if i should of put the new tires on the front since its a fwd car and the bad kinda bald tires on the back.

what would you do?

I would say front for us since Your drive tires are your front tires, But with my explorer I had I always put the good tires up front because I rather have a flat on the back rather than driving 80 and front tire explode

I have been in touch with Enkei recently. I talked with a rep named King. He told me there is a new wheel coming out around the end of Sept. and they haven't fully decided if they're going to include our 5X110. He told me if there was enough interest they would build this wheel. It is a race wheel weighing LESS than 16# and priced about the same as the RPF1. Everybody interested in wheels should call this number, ask for King and tell him you want wheels for your Cobalt SS. He also told me the new wheel is being built to clear Brembos and probably in a 17" as well. EVERYBODY GET ON THE PHONE AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS, RELATIVES AND EVEN ENEMIES TO CALL. The more interest we can generate the better our chances. This is a NEW wheel so tooling won't be as big a factor as custom wheels, which they don't want to get involved with. 800-875-3100 CALL

The only problem is I don't know what the wheel looks like. If i don't like it I don't want it.
