So, I straight up don't get how this works but there's a tire shop called "discount tire" which "insures" tires for such a nominal fee that I couldn't believe it. I've gone through three sets of tires now for a price of approximately ~40$ each set (the new sets keep insurance). This is for a Lexus. That tire shop has to have lost a whole lot of money on my car, but they have no issues with this policy at all. Did I just get extremely lucky? Is this the norm? Tires seem really expensive but somehow I'm not paying the fees and my tires are good quality goodyears too.

Many places "insure" the tire to a certain amount depending on road wear. Most people forget about the "tire insurance" and never claim, even if they could, so it's basically free money. They give you new tires because it doesn't cost them anything, they get paid. Discount considers it part of their marketing, so they actually have a pretty decent one: https://www.discounttire.com/customer-service/certificates https://www.discounttire.com/customer-service/certificates It IS limited to 3 years.
