Didn't NEW tires come with road hazard coverage/warranty??
USA tires stopped Road Hazard warranty 7/01/1977. How do I know this? I purchased a NEW 1977 Trans am. delivery date--7/07/1977. In August I hit the remnants of a screwdriver on the hiway and blew out the Uniroyal RR tire. Took it to the Pontiac dealer that was also Uniroyal dealer. They came out and showed me the object in the destroyed tire and when I stated it should be under Road Hazard, he showed me the updated memo's from the Tire makers showing the above date they stopped Road Hazard on new tires. That is why Tire retailers sell Road Hazard warranty's. The correct repair if the nail is on the flat side of the tread is to remove the rubber, install a plug and then install a patch on the inside of the tire over the plug. Anywhere else, replace the rubber. Doug
