Well, TPMS light came on. Took t ok get oil change today and had a damned screw in the tire. Discount Tire road hazard only covers replacement not patching.

Whenever I bought tires at Discount Tire, the tires came with free flat repair even if I didn't purchase their road hazard certificates.

Discount Tire will patch tire for free as long it is legal to it (not to close to sidewall).

And at least 3/32" tread depth left, they won't service a tire with 2/32" or less.

Unfortunately I do not live close to a Discount Tire. It was only $21 for the repair. At least I know if I have a blow out they will replace or reimburse me for tire replacement

Sorry to hear you had a screw in your tire. Unfortunately, it happens from time to time. As you mention if your tire happened to be unrepairable and you have Certificates for replacement Discount tire would replace the tire free as long as there is still the appropriate amount of life left.

Glad to hear you were able to get it repaired and back on the road.

There's always a repair kit you could keep in the trunk for an emergency. As long as the nail isn't near the sidewall you could get a kit for around $20 bucks.

@RuckU2 We've all been "screwed" at some point! :grin2:

Last week I had one in a mud tire on my ute - but it was in head first which I thought very unusual. The tread on a muddy is so thick that it didn't penetrate all the way through so I was able to just pull it out.

This may be common knowledge, but I recall a tire repair person tell me that the large majority of screw/nail repairs were on rear tires because a front tire hits the little devil and puts it into the air, then a rear tire catches it at its point and buries it.

Just a heads up. Using a plug, VOIDS your Road Hazard warranty thru Discount Tire
