Why on earth would you ask for warranty on a tyre? As the dealer said, it's a "wear-and-tear" item. If the wheel came with a nail in it the day you picked it up, then yes they are entitled to replace the entire wheel.. but considering you drove it over a stray nail on the road, they have EVERY RIGHT to deny you a warranty on your tyres.

It's just like saying, "oh a bird shat on my car, can I go and get my paint re-applied under warranty?"..

I don't know what you're implying is "ridiculous".. if that was any other immoral c**t providing his services to you, he would've charged you for an extra wheel.. consider it a favour that he told you to go to a "mom-and-pop" shop to get your tyre re-patched because it would've cost you more to get that plug-patch thing at the dealer everyone is talking about.
