I have a few questions/concerns.
1. The mpss tires that I will be running in the front have uneven tread. It's not too serious but I was wondering if it would be best to flip the tires on the rim?
2. My front's are mpss 245/35/r18 and I was planning on getting re71r 265/35/r18 for the rears. Would this setup be optimal or should I get the same spec tires?
3. I am currently running xxr527 18x8.75 all around. Would the re71r's im looking to put on fit?
4. Based on tire specs I was assuming the mpss would be best up front and the potenza's in the rear. Any advice on this?
Sorry I know I'm literally asking to be spoon fed but I've been extremely busy with personal issues and haven't had much time to do my due diligence.

How much tread is left on the MPSS? Where was the puncture? How big was the puncture? Did you drive on tire while it was flat?
If the tire is still good, you have sufficient tread, and the puncture is not too close to the sidewalls, any tire shop can professionally patch it for you for around $20. Some places even patch it free
