We put new tires on the wife's GS F two weeks ago. Saturday, the passenger's rear showed 27 psi when all the rest are 33. Took it to Discount Tire, and there were FIVE nails in a 3 inch circle. Mighty happy I bought the road hazard insurance...

Thanks and, yes, you are correct. I have only around 2100 miles on it. I’ll have to make a visit to Discount Tires later this week.

That sucks. I had one squarely in the middle of my passenger rear a little over a month ago and Discount Tire was able to patch for free. They are the best IMO, so it sounds like you will be taken care of!

They will probably consider that nail in the sidewall and refuse to patch it. Glad I got the road hazard just in case.

Thank you for all the comments. The local Discount Tire | America's Tire stores do a great job of patching tires as long as they are safely repairable. @Dreamg, I would recommend getting in as soon as possible, you don't want to drive on a low tire.

I always buy their warranty for my daily drivers. Definitely worth it.

I had it replaced yesterday at Discount Tires and bought warranty certificates for the other 3 tires also. Now all 4 tires have replacement certificates.
