Mitch,
Tires are never covered under warranty.
In all the years I've gotten flats, I've never EVER seen the 
nails/glass/debris that caused it. If I had, I would not have driven over 
it in the first place ;-)

Not here, though 'cold' in Texas is 50F ;-).
How good is your friend about adding air to his tires when the ambient 
temperatures drop?
