Tire heck-need tire recommendations

[Tundraroamer]

I am in "tire heck" at the moment. One studded winter tire got ruined and now can't find a replacement anywhere. Decided to switch to summer tires early and found a screw in the Toyo A23. Cant be repaired, too close to edge. I now have 2 complete sets of 3 tires each for summer and winter. CX5 is parked as I only have the spare on it.

I have 19" rims and AWD. The car has 19K miles on it but the summer tires have about half or less on them.

I have some questions that I can't seem to get straight answers on:

1. With 19K miles on originals, can I put a new tire on (3 old, 1 new) without issue the wheels, hubs and those thing that connect together?

2. Can I put two new tires on same axle?

3. If I use either of options 1 or 2, how does that affect the TPMS System?

4. What tires are people happy with for summer only with 99% city/highway driving? ( I use a F150 for the fun stuff). I would like some snow traction for the shoulder seasons.

5. Other suggestions? Buying two new sets of tires in a year is an unpleasant task.

No, it's not recommended. That said, it's your car and you can do whatever you want with it.

2. Can I put two new tires on same axle?

No, it's not recommended.

3. If I use either of options 1 or 2, how does that affect the TPMS System?

Never tried it but I suspect the TPMS would probably adapt that much. It's the DSC that will not function normally.

4. What tires are people happy with for summer only with 99% city/highway driving? ( I use a F150 for the fun stuff). I would like some snow traction for the shoulder seasons.

Don't know, between the OEM Geolanders (17") and my winter tires, I haven't needed anything else.

You can have a tire shop shave the new tire to match the tread depth of the old tires.

Thanks for the answers. The 19K is total miles so about 1/2 that on each set of tires.
I suspected that the new and old won't work if the difference of tread depth is more than recommended. I think that is 2/10" of an inch or so.

I guess I now know another reason why people sell used tires that are otherwise in good shape.

Anybody familiar with the Toyo Versado CUV Tire?

Most AWD vehicles manufactures recommend that all tires circumference be within 1/4 inch which is about 2/32 maximum difference in tread depth. This for Subaru, Audi, MB and ?? Ed

I would measure your tread depths of your existing tires and see how much wear you actually have on them since you've been running a different winter set as well. Like others have said, if you have 2/32 or less of wear on the tires then go ahead on order an new tire that is the exact same as what you have. If it's more then 2/32 worn, tirerack will "shave" new tires to match the tread depth of the existing tires. It will be cheaper then buying a whole new set and you know 100% that you won't have problems with it. Unfortunately, the toyo A23 on tire rack is selling for $268, kind of pricey. You may be able to find that tire from someone else but then I don't know if you'd be able to have it shaved if needed.

Mazda had the tire on hand and said 3/32" was the magic number for typical AWD but not all. But it was a pricy purchase. $386 mounted. Tire rack delivered was about $357 so the dollars got to see the light of day from my wallet...At least I have one set of tires to use with snow in the forecast. Now I need a Nokian winter tire. Thanks for the help
