His "opinion" was pretty condescending, I think his response was appropriate.
Keep us up to date on what you find out. Interested to see if it was a bad batch of rubber, or if it turns out that someone got bored and decided they wanted to shove a screw driver through your tires.

Does anybody know if I can fix the holes if it's not a defect? I figure somebody did it out of a grudge cause I ran his ass off from my platform a few months ago. I'm a Lead Operator on an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico. He's the only one I know that would do something like this. I guess for the money it could cost me to replace (2) tires, I'm just hoping its a defect...lol
If I can fix them that would save me some money. I had to cancel me and the wife's anniversary in Biloxi in case I have to fork out $750.00 for tires. We still going to the Joe Bonamassa concert Saturday night but that's it.

Plugs or slime. Either will get you through. Some people really don't like either, but my last set of Nittos had more than a dozen plugs between the 4 tires and never had issues. If you do Slime, warn the next guy that breaks the bead on your tires. They don't like getting sprayed by the stuff.

If it was this person with a grudge, then maybe somebody walked by and disturbed them, otherwise you may have had five holes in all five.

Doesn't work well on sidewalls. When you push the plug in on a sidewall it just makes the hole bigger.
