Default Brand New Tires Ruined?

The other day on the interstate I had to slam on my brakes and my tires locked up. I thought my car had ABS but aparently not. But anyways when the wheels locked up I slid and it made flat spots on both of the front tires. I just bought these tires and now my car vibrates crazy. Just wondering if theres anything that can be done to save them or if I should be able to get the tires replaced for free?

depends on where you bought them from and if you bought the road hazard option with them, you could always put them on the back and roast them untill the flat spots are gone
