Almost got into an accident X_X, Flat tire Options

[LeonStryfe]

So I was driving around 11pm last night dropping off my girlfriend when suddenly in the middle of the road (huge busy road too) I ran over a glass bottle. After I dropped her home, I quickly ran out of the car and inspect the front left wheel. My fears were right when I saw shads of glass pierce deeply into the whee. I had to go home right away. Knowing that my tire was in a bad condition becauseof the shard I decided to take the local way, to avoid hitting the highway at night. Near my house I hit a terrible bump that suddenly made my car jerk really hard to the left. The car skid and almost went to the left lane with a truck comming full speed. Thankfully we both avoided an accident and I drove home really slowly without a problem. This morning I found out the problem and have hoped to just get the tire repaied. The tire is only several MONTHS old. I found out that the tire cannot be fix and theres a huge pierce that leaks air everytime theres pressure on it. Furthermore, the tire I found out is very expensive. When I bought the car, the woman had the tires changed and gave it expensive ones. I don't want to one different tire brand out of the three. I just dont think its safe.

I was told a tire will cost me 135+. Although its not much of a problem... Looking for it is.

Does anyone know where I can find this specific tire.

I wrote down what it had on it.

Brand -BF Goodrich 205/55R15 88V M+S
DOT BEMHLM11
E4 0219968
Treadwear 440
Traction AA
Temperature A

Whats the name of the tire? It should have another name opposite side of the BF GOODRICH sign. I would check out a Firestone if you have em.

Or do what hurley said, in which you could get two new tires for around 130.

I'm driving around right now with a spare tire. I just went to BJ's wholesale, to pick up a new tire, the same brand as the other three. It's a BF Goodrich Traction T/A tire. It's a special order tire so I have to wait for a while. For now, I just covered up the celi.
