[Miata] Ruined tire, boo hoo

So I only have 10,000 miles on my beloved Kumho Ecsta MX tires and I  
picked up a nasty 3 inch long screw driver head in one this morning.  
It looks like something that would go on an impact screwdriver.  
Needless to say the tire couldn't be repaired and tire shop doesn't  
carry the Kumho. The closest thing they had in a 205/50-15 was a  
Hankook somethingerother H rated tire. So I put two of those on with  
a treadwear rating of 340 and put the remaining 2 Kumhos on the rear  
with treadwear rating of 220. Fortunately it's winter so I won't be  
doing much hard driving but man it just pisses me off, I love the  
Kumho's and these others are going to be scary in comparison I have a  
feeling. Sorry just needed to vent.
