In these cases will insurance cover that?

Figure $500.00 - rim - $285.00 tire = $785.00 - $500.00 deductible = check for $285.00 and a claim in against the insurance.Remember - NJ has the highest insurance rates in the nation......no thanx.

That blows.
I'm feeling better about taking the insurance on wheels & tires on my new JCW. About a 1/2" less sidewall on that then our C43s w/17" rims.

actually if your normal deductible is 500 then this type of damage will call for a lesser deductible. mines 500 but i recently had the bumper tow hook cover blow off and i made a claim with my insurance company. its filed under comprehensive damage and the deductible was only 100 bucks. call up your agent and check it out i bet for this type of damage its only 100 bucks
