I'd have to say that it depends on what the warranties say, your local
state's statutes governing implied and express warranties, and what the
guys who sold it to you said when you bought the tires. The
manufacturer's warranty probably only covers defects in the tire itself
(related to the manufacturing process), while a road hazard warranty
probably only covers problems caused by the tire's contact with the
ground (for example, running over a nail).

Seems fair. Shops around here charge you for removing and replacing the
wheel from the vehicle, and if they didn't do this when they sold the
tires, they probably shouldn't be expected to do it later on.
Hmmmm. Now that I think about it, I always seem to get quicker and
better service if I bring in the wheel, rather than the whole vehicle.
