Buying one Tire
I have somehow ran over 2 screws, which went into nearly the sidewall of my tires, making them unpatchable. Is it a good idea to replace just one tire in the front? The tires are the Pilot Sports and have about 7k miles on them. I spent a lot on them and didn't get the road hazard warranty.
Are there any cheaper tires than these that are still better than the stock ones?

Replace them both. As a rule of thumb, if you damage one tire on an axel, and have more than 5K miles on it, replace them both. Especially on a Performance Car. But, you knew that, didn't you?

Look at Dunlop SP9000s. Your driving a Performance Car, you really don't want to skip on the tires. IMO, the Dunlops have the Best Performance/Price ratio out there.
