That sucks man. I had the same thing happen to me at Camp Pendleton in the wife's Vibe. Wasn't going to try and file a claim with the Marine Corps, but since I jacked up both of the right side wheels, I got Discount Tire to give me a brand new tire (that's why you get the insurance from them) and then I got them to give me a deal on 4 new rims for the wife's car (but that's cause I spend a lot of money there on the Camaro too). Also bent a tie rod. crap.
