What do you guys think about this:

I was driving home home in my E93 M3 and hit a huge pothole, and subsequently blew out the front drivers side tire. The pot hole created a bubble on the side and some of the reinforcing was showing. No damage was done to the rim, but needless to say I needed a new tire.

Issue is this, the only tire dealer near me is Mavis, I called them and they told me they had the same tire in stock, the car is running Mechelin pilot sports. I stopped in and the Michelin tire they had did not match exactly so they did a search and he told that Michelin does not make the same pilot sport anymore (could be BS). Since I needed the car and I had no time to search, I allowed them to put two Contintals (same spec as the Michelin in front).

Now I am concerned I have compromised the performance of the car. Question is, should I have allowed this and is there a negative effect to the car. My E93 has 3900 miles. Advice would be appreciated.
