Received new vehicle with nail implanted in tire-maybe.

Picture this. Today my dealership switched the veh. tires to winter tires which go into their storage area until sping 2021. This is a new car less the 2 months old. It came from the GTA (Toronto) area and already had approx.700 km. on it before I took possesion. We live
just outside Ottawa, Canada.

The tire guy noted a nail in one tire and said no plug would work as a good fix. My new car now has only 2888 km. and my position is -about 1/3 of that was there already before I received it. So, was the nail there already and should I just shut up and have that bad tire replaced at my costs. All comments and are welcome.

  • No telling when nail attacked the tire ... could have been on your way to dealer

    Have an Internal Patch repair done

    Unless nail is in outer/sidewall area...then replace

    Didn't NEW tires come with road hazard coverage/warranty??
  • Unless your detective skills can prove otherwise, you’ll be buying a new tire IMO.
