Why would you take any car, even a brand new one, to the dealer for a tire repair. No warranty I am aware of covers things like tires. hmmmm... live and learn I guess.

You can plug a tire on the edge as long as theres tread, Its not recomended but you can. If its the sidewall then the tires no good. as long as the nail went in where there is tread You can plug it, "Tech" makes a great plug that lasts the life of your tire. I have had much sucess using their product, Unline a patch, these are made from the same compound as your tire and as you drive down the road it melts and molds with the tire.

I would have put the spare on(that's what they are for) and driven to someplace more reasonable...if on principle alone. Sorry for the bad luck, but your post makes a point of reminding us that this could happen at anytime and we should have a plan, like knowing what kind of replacement tires we want, where to get them and how much, so we are prepared when we get into a bind like this. Thanks
