Yesterday I got a flat tire on my Terrain with less than 7000 miles on it. I took it to a dealer but they are saying that it looks like a puncture from a nail or something and were accusing me of taking the "object" that "punctured" the tire out of the tread. So now the dealer I took it to does not want to replace it without me paying for it. I just want to know if anyone thinks that this damage was caused by a nail or screw.
