Tire AIR LEAK

Wha??

You'd much rather fix that issue yourself even though its under full warranty????

Let's say you just had a new house built. You then discover your A/C condensate drain tube is cracked and leaking.... You would rather NOT call the builder even though it's a 15 minute fix?... if so, you're nuts.

 

Again, a shop with a dunk tank would have found where the leak was coming from...time for a replacement rim...I still say your dealer is lacking in basic knowledge....any good tire shop with a dunk tank would have found the issue double ASAP...

 

I recently had a 4-inch long nail in the tread of one of my Michelins. Easily fixed at America's Tire.
However, AFAIK, side-wall punctures cannot be fixed, the tire would need to be replaced.

 

Once again Toyota does NOT warrant the tires the tire manufacture does for defect only not road hazard unless you purchase a road hazard warranty. If the dealer offered to fix it then it was as a courtesy to you.
