I can't imagine a world where they would cover all 4 without damage to all 4.

Also, the "wheel" part of the protection is a joke, it really only covers damage to the wheel so extensive that the wheel could no longer hold air. If a wheel gets that bad, you probably have suspension damage as well that would warrant an insurance claim. I have hit potholes hard that bent the crap out of wheels, split sidewalls of tires, etc., but haven't managed to crack a wheel in any way. Basically, except for more rare circumstances, you're effectively just getting road hazard protection on the tires at a steep price. You could pick that coverage up at any random tire installer (many will sell it even if you didn't purchase the tires with them) for pennies on the dollar compared to what the dealerships charge.
