Coming home I hit a huge peice of metal thing,
dont know what it is, that not only flattened my front tire but then proceeded to rip off the black trim under my doors. How many of my pirelli p7000s should i replace OR can i just replace the 1?

and i doubt this but is there anything i can do about this or do i just grin and bear it?

If you have driven less than a few thousand miles, replacing one tire is no problem. But if you have significant wear on the tires, I would replace them in pairs. As far as the responsibility, unless you have road hazard protection, the responsibility lies with you.

But seriously ... if the tire detreaded you may have a case for manufacturer's replacement, however road hazards typically aren't covered unless you have some special deal with the tire store you bought them from.

The manual says you should replace all 4 tires at the same time, but that probably referrs to regular tire wear, not destroyed tires. If you have plenty of tread on your tires, I would think it's fine to replace a single one.

Or you can use this as an excuse to go buy the tires that you really want
