The driver's side rear tire had a nail in the sidewall, and the tire had to be replaced. I had opted for the replacement/repair insurance, lucky because a new tire was required. These were new tires just installed less than 6000 miles ago. The week before there was another nail in the front right tire, but that was repaired free, and tires rotated.
