Default Nail in brand new rear tire :MAD:!!!

I just had my rear metzeler sportec put on like 2 weeks ago (only about 500mi on it). Well i just got back from a long ride from the highway and when i came home noticed a nail in the rear tire. I turned the bike off and heard it leaking. DAmnit, i suppose i need to get another new tire.

I guess i wont be riding for a while

When I got my F4i, I had a nail in my tire around the 400 mile work. Didn't make me a happy camper... only one thing to do.... HUGE BURNOUT

you can always get it plugged for about $20. Same thing happened to me, so I went back to the dealer and had them plug it. Its a plug/patch combo and so far, so good. I guess its all up to you though if you don't feel its safe to plug it, but I'm confident that it will stay airtight.
