Angry Nail in Sidewall $#@!

There is a nail in my driver rear tire's sidewall. No shoppes will fix it, so I gotta get a new tire. Oh, wait these are new tires. Doh! I'm pissed that this perfectly good tire is now worthless. I ordered a new one, but I'm surprised noone has come up with a way to repair sidewall damage...#@#@%$@^%$#)(*& !!

It 's a BF Goodrich g force KDW2

I get the road hazard insurance. I've only needed it once - but that's paid for all the premiums I've paid; even though the tire was MUCH less than yours!

I can relate. I had the same problem two weeks after I bought my 8. It seems that the complex managers where I live were a little late in cleaning up debris from a couple of the hurricanes we had last year. I heard around 7 other tenants in my immediate area had nails and screws in their tires as well. I'm still finding nails and crap in my yard and occasionally around my driveway.
