A $1500 screw - Dayam!
Screw - nail in the sidewall this morning. Try finding a back-ordered PS2 on Saturday morning of a long holiday weekend 
.
The only tires I could find that matched the N rating on my fronts were P Zero Rossos - had to buy two cause I didn't want to mix and match. $1500 including tax for the pair! OUCH!!
Edit: thank goodness for that tire pressure display in the dash.

Jamie, it sounds like you need to clear out the TMX Elmo section and start stocking some tires at the store.

Ah man, I didn't notice that you were in Ont when I was checking out your CGT thread. Did you buy your car at motion endeaviours? I noticed that they had one in their inventory just like yours (which seemed to be one hell of a deal.... for a CGT that is).

Threads like this make me wonder if I should have a full set of PS2's for the ready!
Guess you don't have the tire insurance? wondering if I should get it - probably would have already paid for itself for you.

I heard last time I needed 2 rear tires that it is not a good idea to mix and match front and rear tires on an AWD, especially in wet road conditions the ends may swap during a sharp turn due to different water evacuation rate.
Sound like u may need 2 more tires and its more like a $2500 screw!

As said, mixing 2 different tread patterns F&R is a bad idea. Handling can be very quirky if not hazardous as such. Buy a pair of front Pirellis and sell the PS2's on the classifieds or eBay
