caught a bolt in a tire... new wheels

[AJ847]

Was just about to drive home from work when my truck told me i had low tire pressure in my front driver tire. Checked and sure enough there's a FREAKIN BOLT directly through the tire tread. I had to make a decision on the spot so called 3 different tire shops within 5 minutes of my office and NTB had a $75 instant rebate on Nitto Crosstek's. I pretty much sprung for them blind but reading reviews online they don't seem bad.

Will post pictures and review when I on a longer drive, the 10 minute commute from the NTB wasn't enough to warrant a review.

do you have road hazard? I repair tires with Inside tire patches. Never a problem. Infact i have one in my winter tire that happend over 2 years ago. No leak what so ever

yep, i bought NTB's road hazard coverage with the wheels. They said that the damage from the bolt was too great for a patch, and to be honest I wanted new wheels after fishtailing in 4-high during chicago's last snow storm.

I didn't have any coverage on the old tires, they came with the truck when I bought it 3 weeks ago.
