my driver side front tire is totally deflated, and i believe there's quite a big puncture on it, as the air leaked out just as i tried to inflate it. anyway, i plan to tow it to Longo in the morning, but i'm pretty sure they gonna charge me an arm and a leg for tire plus installation. can i bring my own tire there and have they balance and install? if so how much they charge? has anyone purchased tires from them before? just how much more expensive they are from the retail price?

I wouldn't take it to the dealer unless it was a warranty issue. Curious to why you want to take it to the dealer vs American/Discount Tire Co or Costco? I always took my car to Costco to get my tires fixed. Now that I'm getting bigger wheels, I'm taking it to American Tires Co.

my car would be towed via free towing service providing my Lexus CPO coverage, they're only allowed to tow it to a Lexus dealer, no?

^^^ Agreed. I'm certain they will overcharge you compared to the places mentioned by Grouchy. I would also recommend to throw on your spare and drive to a tire shop instead of getting towed. But it's your call. Good luck bud.

I always thought the free towing service was only for major services or CPO warranty work. Even if it was free, I still wouldn't take it to the dealer. If you have a spare, I would put that on and take it to your local Costco. I'm sure its a lot cheaper. Plus tires purchased from Costco comes with road hazard. So if you ever pop your tires again, you can take it back and they will fix/replace for free.

Definitely put on the spare and take the car to some place like Discount/America's tire for repair/replacement. If you are still under CPO warranty, the road side assistance may even be able to come and put the spare on for you.
