Toyota does not warranty the tires from road hazards. Period. As a matter of fact, Toyota does not warranty them at all, the original manufacturer of them does. Tires are unique with auto warranties in that, unlike all the other components of your car, your warranty for tires is not through Toyota at all, but rather with whomever the manufacturer of the tire is.

That does not mean that your dealership does not cover them though. Dealers and service managers have a ton of leeway in what they want to cover, who they choose to cover it for, and whether or not they try to pass that on to Toyota (or in this case, the tire OEM) or eat it as a cost of doing business as a dealer to keep your customers happy. That does not mean that other dealers are "horrible", it means that yours is, by literal definition, "exceptional".
