Okay, had a blowout and need your help...

So, I hit a massive pothole on the sh*tty a$$ Mississippi roads and my tire went *POP* and my wheel got severely bent. So, I need one new front passenger side wheel and need your help locating it for a good price ASAP. Also, where can I get a Michelin PS2 for passenger side (245-40-18). Thanks for all your help...

Sorry to hear about your incident. Try Luke at the TireRack, I am sure he can hook you up.

Also, when I checkout of Tirerack.com, it doesn't specify which side I need to tire for. Are they non-directional tires? I would hate to get the wrong one if they were.

Aren't they directional based on which side you mount to the outside?

E55
Call Luke at the Tire Rack on 877-522-8473 x362 and make sure to tell him you're a member of MB World.org so the forum can get the benefits of referral (they sponsor the board).

And the wheel will be $499 (I just bought 4 of them for winter tires - they use fronts all-round when putting on winter tires as they don't make winter tires for our regular rear rims). And not quite sure about the price of the PS2, but I think about $240 if memory serves me correctly, and they are DEFINITELY directional and you can't mount the directional side to the inside as the tread pattern is not symmetrical, so you will need to tell Luke which side the tire is for.
