Flat tire on a new TT, how to handle the dealer ?
Hello,
My new 2002 225QC (3200 miles) just had a flat tire (original tire, 225/45/ZR17 Pilot). Could not find any visible sign of nail or cut.
Tomorow morning I will take it to the delaer.
What should I expect from the dealer and how should I handle it ?
Thanks,
Tal

I bought separate road hazard insurance for $25 per tire
directly from the manufacturer (Bridgestone in my case). That covers *anything* that happens to the tire for the entire life of the tire.
It's more than worth it IMHO.

Case resolved, it was a nail.
Took the tire to a local tire shop. The guy inspected it could not find any puncture/cut. He inflated it, put in into water and found an hidden hole that probably caused by a nail. He said that they can fix it so I left it with them.
Also, I got a road hazard insurance for the four tires. About 40$ each. Accoring to the guy, the price of my tires are 300$ each (?).
