Manufacturer Warranties cover defects. Your tire would be covered, but only if there was a defect on it that caused it to fail or wear prematurely. Getting a nail in it, is not a defect; and is no more the dealer's concern than it would be to repair your car if a hailstorm came through. A warranty is not a waiver for any and all expenses for the next 3 years.
As far as the dealership's response, it was about as far from 'ridiculous' as one can get. They were looking out for you by telling you that there were other places you could go to get that sort of repair done in a better manner than they could do and for a lot less money too. That's not 'ridiculous', that's pretty cool of them in my book.
