Sorry to hear that. Happen to me 2 months after I got my car. Only I couldn't find the nail. TPMS kept going off, I'd check, nothing. Finally a friend riding behind me saw it. It was close to the wall so only option was replacement. What I learned.

If u ordered from tirerack.com and got the hazard insurance, it a free repair or replacement.

If it's not on the sidewall, u could go with a plug. Surprisingly they still do plugs.

On the bright side, the tires are new so you only have to replace one and not 2.

Let us get a pic when able. Was it a blow out or a slow leak?

Slow leak but driving on it caused sidewall damage which means it has to be replaced.

Adrian, of course buddy! I'm dropping my son off at summer camp next Sunday in the morning. Other than that yes I'm available whenever. It is super easy. It takes less than 10 minutes.

Make sure you download Osiris and Cipher from the UpRev website onto your laptop. If not I have it on my laptop.

I just uploaded a new map from UpRev yesterday and it drives even smoother now. Tech support told me to do one more data log with this map and then they can make final adjustments... then it's dyno time

sorry to hear Kai... hopefully you have road hazards insurance on that tire. I bought my wife some new Good Year Eagle Sports and it is great... I would love to purchase some summer tires but this she is my DD so winter is coming lol...
