Hey Luke, You should be fine to replace one with a used one. Plane all four down as necessary so the tread depths match within 1/32nd." If you can't do that, then don't worry about it. Do check the depths after each run. If one goes sooner than the others, replace the whole set with new at that point or make sure your insurance is paid up in full and take one more run. I'm not familiar with Kumho's but I've used ContiPremierContacts on my M3 for years. Better handling than Michelin Pilots and wear better than Dunlop 5000''s. I don't autocross, only club driving schools and attempting to set land speed records on public roads, but these are great all season tires. Also, the Conti's leave a great tread mark on a mellophone or similar! The grooves channel the valves nicely out of the way and the compound is just hard enough to crush them flat without losing control of the car. Especially nice in rain and snow or if the horn has been oiled and greased recently. Kenny "white knuckle" Betts 42 speeding tickets with 8 states to go In a message dated 2/8/2008 1:01:27 P.M.
