Yes, similar situation. The only problem is that now

one of my winter tires has the molding hairs and the other three don't.

Ron at AIM tires at Infineon would never shave a used R compound to match others...

Opted to go with 4 new

After looking at the tires again and getting some second opinions from the likes of Pat and some others it makes more sense in long term costs to just get all new tires now.

I thought I had a lot more tread left than I do. So hopefully by the end of this week, new rubber for me!
