Those Pirelli's were put on Monday.

1: Think the tire serviceable? (not cut very deep)

2: If not, will my road hazzard warranty replace it? (willing to fib if necessary)

3: Should I get another alignment?

4: Was it wrong of me to beat him unconscious with a tire iron?

1. Generally, any damage to sidewall has too big an impact to leave the tire repairable.
2. Yes, Road Hazard warranty should cover it.
3. Alignment? Probably, unless it drives perfectly straight on the freeway.

get it alinged for sure.... and id get a new tire as u dont want a side wall blow out at high speeds wich is more prone to happen w/ that kind of damage.....

1: hard to say. the tire looks fine from the picture.
2: don't know.
3: I would.
4: yes, very wrong!

I had a similar situation with my stock wheels. Luckily, someone on AW happened to have an extra which I bought.

Luckily the 5 spokes repair well. No paint to match.
