You dont have any kind of special flat tire coverage deal with your dealership that sold you the new car, gotta buy a new tire like normal.

Would you be fine just getting a new tire at a basic tire shop or would you be sure to get one at the dealership?

Why the fuck would you need to get a tire at a dealership?

Just go to Discount Tire.

Replace all four tires with brand name ones rated for 120mph.

That's my thought too.

My boss freaked out when I told him, thought I should have gone to dealership and demanded a new tire for free.

depends on the flat. if it was a defect in the tire id check with the dealer first to see how to go about getting that replaced.

if i ran over something, i get a new tire.

Why would you buy a new tire because of a simple flat?
Pop the spare on, then go get it patched.

It's not a simple flat. The tire is completely shredded. It was a violent flat tire experience and very scary.

This

I took a curb too close and tore a chunk out of my tire once. Replaced it at the dealership and it was $275.

A few months later got a nail in the side of another tire and decided to give DT a try. Got the same fucking tire for like $130.

Fuck dealerships for anything that isn't covered by a warranty.

Okay thanks guys looks like I made the right choice.

My boss just got in my head is all, thought I was going crazy.

Man it was a scary flat though. Torrential downpour rain on a busy city interstate. I didnt notice at first, but then I heard this rhythmic sound and I was like oh shit what happened. Slowly pulled over and it's all shredded up.

Still has its paper plates even, damn shame.

Discount Tire. And check your tires at least every other day. If it losing air badly Discount Tire would inspect and fix the problem for free if it's just nails and shit.
