Any tire shop should be able to fix ur puncture tire or clean & seal between ur wheel & tire.

It's very inexpensive, like 20$ fix. Warranty will not cover unless u have purchase wheel/tire protection from the stealership (expensive warranty).

had a nail stuck in the opposite side of the wall so i couldn't see it. the guy at the small shop didn't have a pilot sport a/s but he did have a barely used ps2 he sold to me for 160 installed.

LOL, I hear u my friend.. Nail in the sidewall is the worst nightmare as it is not repairable w/o being safe.

Ah well, it's still cheaper than buying the 1500$ tire/wheel warranty.
