Default Damaged Tire in Chicago, What should I Replace With?

I damaged my front right tire on my '17 991.2 TTS on an awful Chicago pothole. The tires have less than 2000 miles on them and are in great shape. Should I replace just the one right front tire or both? And if I should replace both, I might just replace all four and was wondering if I should switch away from the Pirelli P-Zero to Continental or Michelin or Bridgestone? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Only 2k I would just replace the one tire. I would not waste the money replacing all four, you'll be fine with so few miles. Dam pot holes.

If you do replace, for street duty you should try the Pilot Sport 4S. Generally, just stick with Michelin when possible.

Thank you both M3 and Randy. I think I will just go with replacing the one tire for now.

Yep, that's probably what I'd do, too. When you are ready to replace the other 3, swap all 4 for Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

Just replace the one tire. If you want you could always have Tire Rack shave down the new tire to match the other tire (this is something they can do). With only 2k miles it won't make a difference.

Very happy with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S...big improvement over Pzero.
