Get the tire replaced elsewhere other than the dealership as it will cost you a lot more for the same end result. Just find a reputable tire shop.

Yup. I agree. I went to Discount Tire (in Michigan) and they replaced it for $370 (same exact as the original). I only had 5000 miles on my car at that point, so the tread was fine.

Also, unrepairable bolt

I called american tire... and they quoted me about 370. They are also giving me Road hazard Ins. for $42 per tire for the life of the tire 100% covered.
Their gonna have the tire on Thursday.... so i picked it up from the dealer and took it home.
