Nail in Tire - Rolling Diamater
e90 n52 Xdrive. Purchased new tires about 8k miles ago from costco and I'm looking to use their warranty. One of my tires has a nail in it 1.5 inches from the sidewall and costco asked me to buy a new tire at a prorated price, refusing to repair the tire due to liability issues. The old tires measure between 7/32 and 8/32 and given that they're fairly new, is it ok to slap on a new 10/32 tire for one corner? Should I replace both rears at a minimum?
I'll also look for a tire repair shop and see if someone will do it. Since the puncture is not all the way through, I'm not leaking air. I don't want to get out the good old tire plug.
