Preferred Tire Care

Our dealer offered a Tire-and-Wheel protection plan for our GLS450, $500 per year. Those that purchased GLS's, were you offered such a plan? Is it worth the cost?

This is what it covers...

I don't know about Mercedes but when I purchased Nissan Murano 2015, the Vancouver dealer offered me the same thing. It's negotiable on price and duration. I ended up paying 500CND for 3 years. I got one curb rush they replace it with out any coat, for me this one damage its worth 500

Hope this help

If you get the "+Plus" coverage, it might be worth it if they allow unlimited claims, as it costs ~$100 to repair curb rash without it.

If it's just the tire road hazard coverage, definitely not worth it.

I did not notice the +Plus coverage while reading last night. I will ask if this is included. Also if this entire package is offered for 2yrs I might do it. My wife will drive it more.

rim/tire is not worth it unless you know you are going to damage more than one rim beyond repair during the life of the coverage.
