SA, when this happened I had to buy a replacement tire on PEI. Since they didn't have run-flats I bought a regular tire which I am still using. The mechanic at the tire shop where I bought the tire told me that the bad tire had a damaged bead which was done at a previous service. I could not bring the damaged tire back with me because I simply did not have enough room in the vehicle. We were on vacation.
I think most people know that removing a tire and reinstalling it has to be done with great care to avoid damage. Obviously, care was not used in the removal and reinstallation.
Irwin could have simply replaced the tire they damaged but they didn't care.
