Thanks for the feedback. I am a pretty attentive driver and while I do try to avoid potholes when I can, I just didn't see this one in time. Some of the roads here in LA have many many potholes. So it's a full time job to look for them (while also looking for everything else a good driver should look for). The road was the shortest distance to work, but I will be avoiding it in the future.
I was also concerned about not getting the same tire. It's funny, but also very sad that we can't trust the "Nissan" service technicians to know what is best for our car. I told them I was concerned about having the 2 different tires on the car (and especially in the front). They assured me that there would be no negative effects by putting that tire on my car, and in that position. I pushed them to put it in the back, but they really said the front would be the same as the back. I was even talking to a few of the dealership guys in that conversation. I should have known better. I needed the car for work on Monday so I could not wait the 5 days (if I had a spare tire I could have waited the 5 days). Maybe I will buy a spare tire for future flat tire issues.
I guess I will bring the car back in, and try to get them to put the matching tire on the car. If I match the psi on the tires and it still pulls, should I even ask the dealership to fix that? (assuming it's not the tire that is causing the pull?) I am pretty sure that would not be covered under warranty so I would paying the bill. An independent alignment shop would be a better choice than the dealership right?
thanks for the feedback. Very annoying experience on a car with only 1500 miles.
