I have a 2007 TL Type S (MT) that I've had for less than two months. I blew out one tire (right side front) going over a huge pothole.

I have to replace it but I'm seeing so many bad reviews for the OEM tires (Michelin HX MXM4). I don't necessarily want to spend over $200 for what people consider bad tires. Then again, I'm sure having 3 tires of one kind and one of another isn't good either (honestly I don't know).

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Replace them all then. If the other 3 tires are still good, just try to sell them on eBay or something.

Check your tire warranty book for Road Hazard, it may be included
Call the Service Manager at the Dealer and ask too

You might get lucky!

Had the same dilemma. I had to spend $200 for a new EL42 Turenza even though I'm not 100% in love with them (to quote the obnoxious Cave Man) rather than replace all 4 with only 7,000 miles on them.

Page 2: The new tire brought a shimmy with it. Since I didn't get any paperwork or warranty info from the Acura dealer, I'm thinking it was probably a take-off from someone who bought a new TL but insisted on a tire upgrade.

When dealing with the stealership, keep your eyes wide open and don't drop the soap.

I've seen a few bad comments about the Michelins, but most of the complaints were about the Bridgestone EL-42s which are standard on the non-Navi cars. The Michelins on my car are fine for all-season tires; my preference would be to get another Michelin; otherwise change two front tires so that the same tire type will be on front.
Make sure your wheel is OK and not bent, too.
