Tire wheel Insurance

I bought the paqckage today for $1050.00 for 5 years, I was told that this coverage came out in January and is backed by Auto Nation.. Total replacement of tires for any road hazard, any flat, nails etc..will not repair ,but replace,tires, must haqve no less then 3/32 at the lowest point, also wheels will be fixed for scratches or gauges,from road hazards,,,no chrome wheel gets warranty, and you do not have to buy tires only from the dealer..Basicaly all you have to say is you hit something on the road or ran into a pothole...

Ya, read the fine print. Some dealers promise the world, but make sure it is in writing. Tires are not really the issue. Bent cast alum. wheels should never be *pressed* back into shape, yet that is what this warranty will do. In 95% of the cases, they will either bend back your wheel and repaint it, (which in many cases never matches, yellows and peels off sooner than the OEM paint job) or they will replace them with *remanufactured* or salvage yard wheels of the same kind from some third party vendor, but never, and I mean NEVER will thay replace your damaged wheel(s) with NEW ones.

So I took my $1K+ and purchased two new 20" wheels as back up...
