Nail in tire
just noticed I have a nail in my front tire. Are the goodyear's covered from the manufacturer or the dealer? I cant remember if I bought the extra wheel and tire insurance

The wheel and tire protection plan will cover it. I believe it is covered by the dealer

Not a GM covered item. Road hazard insurance will cover it.

If the dealer won't do it for free, go down to your local tire shop and have them install a mushroom plug from the inside. Costs me ~$20 to get it done and I've had dozens installed in the last 20+ years.

These dang F1's are just too sticky. Only 400 miles on mine and I picked up a big screw. Sucks!
I took it off and took it to my local Discount Tire - only choice anywhere close to me. They suprised me though. They ended up doing the plug/patch thing - WITHOUT scratching my wheels. I was very relieved with that. And to top it off - it was free. So a scratch free repair and at no cost - Thumbs up to my local Discount Tire guys!!! |

I had one at 300 miles, was so pissed, but not as pissed when my windshield got broke. Our windshields are $800.00 (OEM)

I saw this and said in a loud and profound voice, 'F**K'! Got some 409 and sprayed it, no leak. Got my trusty small side cutters and when I touched it, it moved easily, but wasn't leaking! Turned out to be 1/8 " nail, removed it and still no leak!!!!!! Sticky tires for sure.

It is hard for me to resist some spirited driving on a curvy road or ramp to the interstate! Does the newness wear off? I have only had the car for a month, and it just keeps getting funner!
