Default finishing nail in my sidewall

noticed my left front was low and found a small finishing nail near the sidewall..should a replacement tire RE050 have any effect going on with my other tires with 6000 miles? Just curious

If your existing tires have significant tread depth reduction from new, then putting a single new tire on is not a good idea. The car will tend to pull to one side and cause severe handling differences with opposing lateral g's.

put the new left front RE050 on yesterday..and with 6000 miles on the other tires it seems that the tread issue will be a non issue..
