How is it that the second I read this I knew what answer you were looking for?
Driving around with a damaged sidewall is fucking retarded. You aren't poor. Buy a fucking tire already. Yes, you can replace just one. No, your center diff won't explode. Yes, you should replace all four because those tires suck, but you really should have negotiated that when you bought the car.
Covered by warranty? Do skis tend to get covered by warranty when you jump on rocks?
You obviously made up your mind before you even posted this...why bother?
You will quite possibly have absolutely no problem keeping that tire and driving on it for the next 30,000 miles.
Or, it could pull apart all at once going around a turn at 80. But hey, it's totally worth saving a hundred bucks to find out.
