Do you buy the Road Hazard coverage?

['66 coupe]

Getting new tires tomorrow, so I was just wondering.
Also, what tires are you all running?

I usually get them if it's affordable. $14 coverage on a $130 tire isn't bad.
I do a lot of commuting, and you never know what's out on those interstates. Also, my neighborhood at school is still being built, and the workers don't give a **** about nails or screws getting out on the road.

One of the tires I'm having replaced has two nails in it, but it only has a very slow leak. Funny thing is I'm not getting it replaced under the coverage.
The pair(Falken ZE-512's) has only lasted me about 5,000 miles. But they have a 30,000-mile warranty, so Sears is just giving me full credit for what I paid for the pair.
Sucks that they don't sell Kumho Ecsta SPT's, cause that's what I've been running in the rear for a couple months. So I ordered BFG G-Force Sports.

Basically, I'll be paying around $185 for the pair of 245/45/17 BFG's including, mounting, Road Hazard, and an alignment. Sounds good to me!

I thought it was a waste till my mother had a tire go bad on her and they just give a new one for free. can't beat that. always better to have it and not need it than to not have it and need it.

I work in the Service department at a dealership and we offer it. Most places set it at about 10% the price of the tire. At our dealership we do it for $7 flat. Everywhere is a little different.

If you get a nail they repair it, if you get a blowout they replace it. When your spending that much money on a set of four tires a little bit more seems worth it for a little insurance. At least to me it does.
