I just discovered a nail in my tire. Noticed my tire pressure in might passenger front wheel slowly reducing to about 40psi over the course of a week. Refilled to 48psi then was down 3psi in 24 hours. Finally found the nail (pictured). My front tires were recently replaced by Rivian Service (due to low tread) and this one has probably less than 1,000 miles on it .
I've gotten nails before on previous vehicles and assume this is a simple patch job and the tire isn't ruined. Given Rivian service would probably tell me to wait 5 months for an appointment, I assume my only choice is America's Tire/Discount Tire because they're the only ones with the proper jack pucks? I assume it's not an issue that I didn't purchase the tire through them?
Does anyone want to really ruin my day and tell me something like "oh you can't patch EV tires due to X, Y or Z"?
Thanks!
