This. But you could also argue a nail in a tire is damage and reimburse it differently.

As long as the nail isn't in the actual sidewall, put a plug in it and move on with your life until it's actually time to replace. Tire shops are becoming super conservative on what they're willing to repair.
This would be me until a couple yrs ago. My daughter (pics below) had a nail in her 4 runner tire on the outer row and I plugged it. About a yr later the tire shredded on the interstate at 70mph...

You can expenses whatever you want to do long as your boss signs off!

A damaged tire would fall under the "tear" part of the equation. Thinking that this is reimbursable as a separate event is ludicrous.

If you get mileage than you should not be able to expense.
Mileage pays more than the cost of fuel, and is supposed to (over time) cover the cost of this.
I tell my team all the time to rent a car but they insist on using their personal vehicle. They profit for a few months but then they blow out a tire or crack a windshield and pay out of pocket, and their take home ends up being net or close to it.

If the nail is truly in the sidewall, replace it with a similar diameter used tire. If the nail is close to the sidewall, plug the tire, rotate it to the back axle and leave it there.
There is some truth in keeping all 4 tires on an AWD vehicle the same tread depth. HOWEVER unless you rotate your tires very frequently and have ZERO alignment or suspension issues, tires always wear unevenly.

I manage commercial construction and charge my exterior subs for every nail I get in a my tire since it’s their responsibility to clean nails up

Sweet jesus on needing all 4 tires. They measure tire tread in 32nds of an inch. Your drive train can't tell between the 11/32nds of a new tire with the 5/32nds of practically bald tires.
but yeah you get paid mileage to cover stuff like that so no free tires for you.

Is this something you’d deem expensable or not? It’s about $1,200,
Expense it if you think it happened as a result of your job. You didn’t ask for a nail in your tire

This has to be a fake story.
No one drives a sissy car to a jobsite unless they are poor.
If what you are driving is not a
F150, F250, F350, F450, F550
Chevy 1500, 2500, 3500
Dodge Ram
GMC
Lifted truck
Compact 4x4 Toyota or Nissan rusted from 1980 era, lifted, and has oversized tires.
It has to be a fake story.
