Today has been the unlucky day for me. I ended up getting the most expensive nail today (that's what the tireshop called it). Sidewall damage.
Replacement tire out the door almost 500.00

This sucks..

Anyone experienced bad day like this before or is it just me..

how much is the road hazard?

Are you sure they have such service for expensive tires like these?

I'm going to have ot agree with him. They lost money on my 4runner. Also, they can special order tires if they don't normally stock them.

Their insurance is based on tire price, so it'd cost a bit more than my subaru did, but my car was only $37 for all four tires until they're worn down to 3/32 inch, or something like that.

It costs less than a new tire.

500? to replace and mount one tire? that can't be right. that's the price of replacing two tires.
