No not manufacturing defect. As previously said, order new one from The Tire Rack. Go to your various dealers in town and talk to them specifically about mounting a tire w/o scratching the rim. Service advisors may not too reliable so see if you can watch the people doing the actual mounting. New Chevies, Ford etc have some nice wheels too so their tire guys have to be pretty good. If you ever see a Cdn esp from BC/Alta selling used tires consider picking up 1 or 2 b/c you live in Fort Mac. Maybe plug the damaged tire to use only as a very emergency spare.
