Doubt it on the warranty. I asked my SA whether it's out-of-pocket for me, and he said unfortunately "yes". I'll double-check with him when I pick up the X. I might need to swallow the cost on this one. If it happens just one more time though, I'm going to ask him to take it up with the warehouse. This should not be happening with 1-week old tires. I'm not driving on nail beds after all.
