Wheel and tire protection
What do you guys feel is a good price to pay for the wheel and tire protection. The dealership quoted me 76/month before negotiation. Thanks!

Unless you literally crash your car into curbs for a living $76 is highway robbery.
If you damage the wheel, 250-300 will get it refurbished to as new condition unless you destroy it so bad you need to replace, then you are looking at 700-1000 depending on which siz you have and if you take out the tire, it is 300-400 bucks. So they are charging you almost $3000 fo insurance, which you would have to destroy completely between 2 and 3 wheels and tires to break even. Personally I have very few issues ever with wheels and tires, would never pay for it, but if you have a history of destroying many wheels and tires maybe worth it, but doubtful in my book.

That is more in line with what I have seen 700-1000 for 3 years on previous purchases then it might be worth doing it.

5 years ago my wife paid $600 for tire protection for her MDX. Turned out, she made a killing on the deal. 3 new tires and a new rim. It was a timeframe where her car was put into a "heavy use" rotation with kids, school drop off, hard use, etc. It was the family mule. It crashed into curbs in ice/snow storms. It got door dinged like it was its job in mall parking lots. High abuse scenarios. The tire insurance was more battle armor than anything else.
Wouldn't get it now, it's too hard to do enough tire damage to warrant it. Just depends on how hard the vehicle will be pushed. |

Thanks for the info! I was never going to pay 76 a month for 3 years, as I thought it was way too high, but nice to know people have gotten it for much less.
If I can get it for 1,000 or less for 3 years, I'll probably do it since I live in a Northern state |

Wheel and tire protection can be worth it. Like most of these protection plans, it's a math problem, where the minority benefit and the majority pay into it. Timing is everything. Last edited by lumpydog; 11-13-2018 at 07:52 PM.. |
