Screwed

A few weeks ago the tire pressure sensor showed low tire pressure. Today, after washing the G I decided to inspect the tire because the low tire pressure was on again.....Surprise

You shouldn't have done this. What did you do with the tire fix kit? You really should have brought it to discount tire. They dismount the tire, plug the tire, and than patch it from the inside.

I know the same nail feeling. I bought brand new tires and not even 50 miles / a week and I had 2 nails in the same tire, on two different occasions.

Thanks for the tip
There is a discount tire about 10 min away but being new-year's day I thought they would be closed and I needed it fixed kind of quick.

If those are hankook evo v12s they have national roadside warranty.
The 1st 25% of useable tread is pro rated.

Had multiple issues with new hankooks, either flats or problems with seal around rims.

I had a nail in one of my tires I paid $8.50 for a brand new hankook.

Just so you know, it covers ANY road hazard.

It's any authorized hankook dealer.
Don't let them bs you, hankook covers all tires that are within the 25% of original wear.
You may have to call hankook, but it's worth a tire.
