Replacing Stock Tires need advice

Hey everyone, I need some advice on a situation I have right now. Last night I ran over a really big pot hole and it busted up 2 of my tires. I'll provide you some context to what car and tires I have.

-I have a 2016 ILX purchased in August 2015
-Tires are stock from the A-Spec package (not sure if that makes a difference) and I've put roughly 41K miles on them already.

Questions:
1. Should I look into replacing all 4 tires? Or should I just replace 2?
2. Does anyone else have a 16 ILX?
3. What type of tires are on the A-Spec trim?
4. How long have your stock tires lasted for this model?

Thanks for your input everyone.

With having 41k miles on your remaining two tires, I would replace the entire set

The tires look a bit meaty so if you need to save money it's best to buy only 2 tires and to put the newest ones on the rear. Find a Discount Tire near you and go there. They'll do lifetime rotations and balancing for free with the HUNTER machines that are incredible. As well, they offer Road Hazzard protection for under $20/tire which is well worth it, esp if you live where pot holes can take out tires. Road Hazard has paid for over 10 tires in the last 7 years for me. Discount Tire price matches and is nation wide!

The tire you want depends on a few things:
1. Do you have snow (All-Season or Summer Tire choice)
2. Do you drive sporty (Grand Touring or Ultra High Performance tires)?
3. Do you drive a lot (mileage warranty)?

Snow+sporty+drive a lot = Continental DWS06 Ultra High Performance All Season Tire. Warranty for 50K miles and is a very sticky, quiet tire that can handle over a foot of snow.
No Snow + Casual driver + drive a lot = Pirelli P7
etc.
