A warranty didn't even occur to me. I'll see what's available.

I would also reccomed getting all 5 tires and doing a 5 tire rotation.

Probably not in the cards, as I only have the stock wheels and the steely spare. But a 4 wheel rotation is a no brainer. Worth checking Craigslist for some wheels I guess.

also some tire plug kits and a compressor would be good.

Great advice. I actually got a free wake-up call with this cut tire. I didn't check my spare or even see if I had a jack with me before heading out. And luckily it was still light out, as I didn't bring a flashlight. Just a few unlucky breaks could made for a real sketchy scenario. Looking into a snorkel, too, as crossings of unknown depth are just part of getting around here.
All good fun, just some new things for a sports car guy to learn. Still learning what this rig can do; really impressed so far. I shipped it down from North Carolina -- I bet it never set a tire off asphalt before coming here.
