Hey guy's,

I was going to purchase the wheel and tire plan now that I have the 18's style 124 sport wheels. They wanted $795 for a 5 year plan. I got them down to $600 for the 5 year plan for wheel and tire protection. What do you guy's think? I have to call her and purchase it as soon as possible.

Wife hit a major pot hole just off the side of the road and cracked the right rear 124 wheel and damaged inside of RFT for a total cost of just under $1000.00.

The $600.00 would have been cheap insurance!

I have posted several times about this, namely that I have purchased my insurance through theautoclub.com at $2.50 per month.

Although I have not had a claim, others have indicated they have had claims and been satisfied.

These wheels and tires are highly susceptable to damage, I think anything under $750 , or the cost of a wheel and/or tire is good value . Be aware this will not ( I'm sure) cover curb rash , which is a very likely occurance with this set up.... Park Carefully ! It just cost me $125 last week for a sloppy parking job ..... thank goodness the repairs are easy and undetectable

Cheers

My friend purchased his '05 545i, drove out of the dealership and on his way home (at night) his a massive pothole and cracked 2 rims and destroyed the tires. He had purchased the insurance. Since then he has used it at least two more times. I do not have the runflat low profiles on my e60. I bought the plan but have not used it.

Click here Tire and Wheel Road Hazard Protection

Is this a good deal?-tire.jpg

I guess $350.00 is better than nothing but is <1/2 of replacement of tire and wheel.
