Never had a 30 cal shell in a tire before

Road hazard warranty

If you drive on it flat, they can deny the warranty.

If they do they do.

Why didn't you pull it off and put the spare on? You may have ruined the tire driving on it like that.

Lol, as if a 9mm hole didn't?

Ya would have been better off sticking a bolt or something in the hole though. Running it flat may void the warranty.

Wow, you guys post fast...

A 9mm hole is actually repairable, although most tire shops (a) will tell you otherwise because in the long-run it makes more money than it costs, and (b) don't have anyone trained to do those repairs.

A 9mm hole would require a heavy patch (maybe a small boot?) though. Dependability and balance becomes a factor with large/thick patches.

I'd make quite a ruckus if they tried to patch that size hole with a road hazard warranty.

No, the correct repair for that hole wouldn't be a patch. As I said, most shops are trained to make those repairs (and that's on purpose--for the $$$).

I'll just replace the tires and watch out for those darn liberal 9mm shells. I think their made my CNN.
