Default Tire blew replace both?

Michelin Pilot Super Sport 285 25 20

^^^^thats my rear tires. One of them got a hole in the side. I have no idea what I hit.

I have yet to find a replacement that is on back order.

My question is....would you guys buy two new different tires or keep looking for another super sport?

Or would yall just buy one replacement that ofcourse will not be a Super sport?

I'd probably pick up a used one with similar tread life left off ebay
...then replace both once either one of them go bald

Depends on the mileage IMO. If less than 5K, replace only the one, if more replace both. However, 20s will wear faster than 19s and be more prone to failure. So, Maybe 4K miles?????

Or measure tread depth and make your decision from there. If more than 20% of the tread gone, replace both.
