Need Help in Los Angeles ASAP!

So I took my 2006 e90 into Century West BMW this morning because it started to shake. The advisor just told me that i have "3 small holes" in my rear left RFT and advised against driving it. I live in Santa Monica but work out in Burbank. Do you think it's safe to drive from Burbank -> SM?

Does anyone either:

A) have spare tires that fit rim type 161? I think it's 255/17 (sorry, I don't know much about tire sizes, but it's the same as http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=240127)

EDIT: I need two RFT or preferable non-RFT that fit. I have already replaced the front two because they were crap

or

B) know of any dependable tire shops in the SM or Burbank area where I can take it?

Thanks for the help, I just hope I don't get a flat on my way home tonight...

Try America's Tire Co. in Pasadena Ca. I'm getting a set of Falken FK 452's

Front tires: 225/40R-18XL 92Y BSW $122 each
Rear tires: 255/35R-18XL 94Y BSW $176 each

Installed price with tax and set up: $730.99

For now I'm only getting the rear since it has the bad tire. Also i just got laid off so I can only afford the rear.

Installed price for the rear only is $424.76

I don't recommend driving from Burbank to SM. The 101 in Hollywood is crappy and rough. Take the 5 to the 10 all the way to SM if you don't already. It's not so rough but it still is a long drive.

BTW don't ever go to New Century BMW. That place sucks and blows! I've had some really bad experiences from them. I go to South Bay BMW in Torrance, CA.
