  1. If you have a flat and the the other tires are good can the dealer refuse to just sell you one tire or will you have to change all four tires. I went to NH for a wedding and got a flat
    the mileage on my car was 20,150 miles for the old tires . I tried to buy one tire in NH state. the tire refuse to sell me one tire and I had to purchase four new tires for my 2017 Lexus The owner of the store say that state law, is that true in NH
    thanks
