Tire busted; is it ok to replace just one tire or need to replace both tires on same axle?

For my Audi Q3, the right rear tire went over a curb, and it popped. There's a hole in the side wall. I don't think it can be repaired and the tire will need to be replaced.

Can I just replace that one tire or will I need to replace the other tire on the same axle? The other non-damaged tire has about 6k miles on it. FYI - The tire size is 255 40R20.

Because Audi Q3 utilizes the Quattro all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, I am unsure if it is recommended to have a mismatch in tread depths since one tire will be newer than other, and it could mess up the Quattro system.

The other problem I am facing is that the current tire is the Michelin Primacy MXM4, but they seem to be on backorder. If I can't find a Michelin Primacy MXM4, then it is advisable to have different models on either side of the axle? (e.g. Michelin Primacy MXM4 on left, and a Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 on the right). This just doesn't seem right.

Would love your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Do you enjoy your job ?

Got offered a job at discount tire. I would be starting at $18 an hour and I only plan to work around 27 hours a week.

I am in college so it seems like a good opportunity considering my schedule would allow me to have 3 days off and I wouldn’t be working past 8.

I currently work in a restaurant, I have a good job but am looking to get out of this industry.

I am hearing a lot of negative things from friends and the people on here.

Is the job really that bad ?!

Price error?

So I’m looking to buy these tires for my 2009 mdx, I’ve had them in my cart for a couple days now and at the time when I placed them in my cart they were at the price shown in the picture. Today they’re going for $177. Is this a glitch or what? My concern is if I purchase them online that when I get to the store they’re going to charge me for the current price. Anyone ever experience this before?
