Insuring your tires at discount tire/America's best tires is always worth it too.
- bruce511 2y agoI expect this is true depending on where you are, and the quality of roads you drive on. I've been driving for 36 years now and have never had a tired damaged more than the very occasional puncture. I could go out tomorrow and damage one, but by this point I can consider myself "self insured".

The city I live in (Seattle) will pay to replace the tire if the loss was due to a pot hole, but you have to take a picture of the pot hole, which can be a bit hard to do in many circumstances. There have been years where I've paid more for tires than for gas. :/
- TurkishPoptart 2y agoThat's crazy. I've lived in Seаttle for 7 years and only had to get a tire puncture sealed at Le Schwab, never had to replace one.
- MaxBarraclough 2y agoWhy's that? They're selling the insurance plan for a profit, after all. The expected return, from the buyer's point of view, is negative. If your financial situation is such that you'd be in trouble if you had to replace a tire, then sure, but tires aren't that expensive.
