Ok am I getting played by the dealership/shop? The other day I was riding home from a lovely long tour and heard a loud bang crack. Looked at tires and saw nothing but it sounded like I had either run over a rock or something. Well today found a nail right on the side between the tread and starting on the sidewall. Given its location I wanted to have them look at it since it was so close to sidewall. On the phone they told me sorry they will not plug a tire I can only have it replaced due to liability with street tires versus ATV tires. I brought it up to them and he said it will take a week because of the off size of the tire so I am down a bike for a week and the cost of a new rear tire. Thoughts? Am I being played or is this normal?
