I got a flat tire about 2 weeks ago, I took it to discount tire and they repaired it for free. It was a small hole.

Was it a runflat? If so I think they don't want the liability of repairing a tire that "Should Not" be repaired. They didn't charge me either on my X5 tire, and I don't think they were trying to be nice, just a little CYA!
