I think I saw that GM has a 12mo/12kmile road hazard warranty on tires and prorated after that. This should be the best price, free. I just picked up a nail in my side wall on my 2012 GS yesterday and will be calling the dealer on Monday.

My tire just had a nail in it, so it could be repaired. Goodyear sent me a check for the $89 cost of the tire repair, and re-balance. Goodluck!

Yes, after some research, jovette is correct. go to goodyears sight. it tells that runflats are covered for this, but depends on mil. and wear.

Thanks for help

When I bought my last few corvettes (C5s and a 2005 C6) there was a Goodyear insert in with the users manual explaining the warranty. On the 2012 there was no insert so I wonder if they discontinued that warranty somewhere along the line?

I did not get any Goodyear paperwork when I got mine 5 months ago. Goodyear does have all the details on their website. The tires are covered for road hazards. Just make sure you look at the runflat warranty (the non runflat is not covered for road hazards). From the Goodyear website...

Free Tire Replacement
Any new Goodyear Run-Flat tire removed from service due to a covered warranty condition or rendered not repairable due to a road hazard injury during the first 2/32" treadwear or 12 months from date of purchase, whichever occurs first, will be replaced at no charge. Mounting and balancing are included. Repairable punctures will also be repaired at no charge during this period. (Without proof of purchase, date of manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)
