MICHELIN PILOT AS TIRE QUESTION

I bought 4 Michelin Pilot AS tires a couple of years ago from Sears. Somehow got 2 nails in one tire & were told by Discount Tire it can not be patched.

My husband stopped there as he couldn't remember where I bought tires as I was driving the car at the time & these were the tires everyone was recommending at the time.

I have Road Hazard warranty on these & called Sears but was told these tires are or have been phased out & are replaced by AS Plus tires.

Will we have to get 2 new tires or 4 new tires as a result.

And guy in Tire Department who actually sold me the tires says he would have to call Michelin.

This is for a 2004 Mercedes E320 wagon.

Help!

Thanks.

You can have different tires in front than rear, but do not have different on same axle.

depends on the weather
you can put the 'plus' version on one end of the car and leave the non 'plus' on the other end but, yes you will need 2 tires not just 1
