Flat tire - original tire discontinued, what next?

[woolfe]

Hi there!

I’ve got an AWD M3 with 235/45R18 CrossClimate+ that have a lot of tread left (only 7K miles)

Just got an unrepairable flat on my front passenger side. Michelin discontinued the CC+ for the CC2.

Is it possible to just replace the one tire and perhaps shave it to match the rest? Or should I replace both front tires, or, or, replace all four?

Tires are the most important safety feature, so I don’t plan on skimping. Just curious what makes the most sense. I’m guessing Michelin changed tire material in the CC2, thus causing a different wear pattern from the CC+, making it wear differently. Which is why I’m leaning to replace the front two.

At minimum replace both on the front

Thanks! I ended up getting four new tires, as there was a sale on the CC2s that made the fourth free. Going to try to sell my old CC+ and not worry about it.

Maybe keep one to mount on a wheel for a full size spare if you want to have such a thing?
