Default Need Help Finding a Tire

I need help finding a tire that is no longer made by Michelin. It's a Pilot Sport 225/50ZR16. I need to replace one of my tires that got damaged by a screw. My set only has 8K miles so I'm not looking at replacing the whole set yet.

I looked with the usual suspects, Michelin, Tire Rack, Discount Tire with no luck. Attached is a picture of the thread which very close to the AS tire. Any help will be appreciated.

How old is the tire in question? Depending how old it is, you might be better off by replacing the rears, even if they only have 8K miles.

Sorry for your issue. I don't have a lead for you either.

I think I have one of those lying around in my garage. I'll check the size to confirm tonight if your interested. You can have it by the way if it works!

racesx,
Thanks for the offer...I actually already paid for the one coming from Indiana. If something happens that it is not the correct one once it comes in, I'll let you know.
