    Call me a wussy but I'd get it done right. I've seen what could happen if a tire fails due to a small cut. It wasn't pretty. I'm one of those type of guys that checks everything before and after driving just like pilots would do. I don't only do it for my car's sake but for me and my family's safety.

    Please allow my take on the sanctity of tires being only acceptable in the form and state with which they left the factory; airliners weigh a bunch, the wheels on the landing carriage hit the pavement from a dead stop to over 150MPH after flying through upper level air temps of -60 degrees centigrade. guess what....most airliners (maybe all) use RECAPS! (fact)


    I have very little problem with a patch here and there myself.

    I would complain to the homebuilder. (probably going to do as much good as talking to the nail) then get in the vette and enjoy a drive. The tire pressure sensor will let you know if you are losing air pressure. If the pressure in the tire is good I doubt the tire will blow out. Usually the things I worry about never happen anyway. bye
