Replacement Michelin tires on 05 MT hard to find
I had a flat and didn’t know it until I toasted the tire. Had a very hard time finding a replacement. Dealer and tire shops don’t stock the tire since it is new and none are wearing out yet. Ended up getting one from Tirerack.com for $200 plus shipping.
FYI, I drove on the tire flat for 60 miles and it still was drivable but ruined. Nice option if you can’t change a tire right away due to weather etc,
Had to use the spare for 5 days driving a 120 mile commute each day. Forget that 50MPH limit with the spare it won’t blow up but is a little squirrely.

Not only your new Michelin Pilot MXM4... the old Bridgestone EL42s ain't easy to get, either... this tyre size is so "special"... I didn't fix my flat tire until 2 days after.
