Tire Inner Sidewall Separation

i wouldn't bother even asking them. be happy that you got 18 out of the tires. what probably happened is the screw caused the leak, causing you to get the flat and drive on the tire for a bit and that caused the separation. just be happy you didn't damage your rim. at 18k i'd just go buy a whole new set of tires if i was you. check out the hankook ventus v12 evo if you're not looking to break the bank.

This is also a possibility. If you were driving around on a tire with low pressure you could experience some abnormal wear on inner and/or outer sidewalls, which could cause the separation.

haha... richie rich!? i only have one original tire on my car, and i bought it in may! I had to replace 3 of them in one way or another within the first 1000 miles. I got two back wheels stolen (with tires obviously) and then the day i got my car back from insurance, having the wheels replaced, i got a flat in my front left tire!

Now... you were feeling bad about getting 18k out of your tires... right? ok just wanted to make sure!

went to my girls the other day who lives in the country. was driving home and noticed a ound that sound like a nail in my tire.... turned out to be a sharp ROCK that got jammed into the tire... not deep enough to puncture but was deep as hell!
