Take your tire to a real tire shop. I have been going to the Stansfield Tire Center for over 35 years. A good tire shop will tell you if they can do anything with your old tire.

The last time I had to get rid of a tire, my shop had a take-off that was a perfect match for the Michelins on my car.

The same can be said for my dealer, they have about 300 wheels in a barn, maybe your dealer has something that will fit your car.

The circumfrence of a tire can be measured easilly, you might even measure all of the remaining tires and find that a new set is in order anyways.

A tire shop or a dealer might be able to give you a properly sized but unmatched tire for the short run.

Good luck. You could be far worse off.
