Hmmm. Maybe I'll give that a try. BTW, they also said they
weren't supposed to plug the tires, but the damage was such
that they could this time. They made it sound like next time
I'd have to get a new tire. Well, at least they aren't the
tires that lasted ca 7K miles. Now THAT would have made me
very unhappy!

The OEM tires are covered for replacement, as are the OEM wheels. There
are dollar limits on the wheels and tires, but I had a tire replaced at
no cost to me a year or so ago.

Well, THAT'S good to know. I was going to bring the
literature in with me today, but instead just sat in the car
trying to figure out whether the mirrors are heated....

Interesting. Maybe this is because I didn't have a flat?
One would think it would be better not to go that route, but...

Wow, and I didn't even have a coupon. I'm thinking prices vary remarkably
from one part of the country to another. Certainly a mechanic living in LA
is paid a LOT more than one living in Fargo.
