Tire warranties -- good idea?

[rodster]

New Toyos should be here Tuesday. The tire dealer is offering a $53 per tire, lifetime of the tire warranty. For that they'll replace any tire that can't be fixed no matter if the tire was damaged on or off road. I don't know for sure but imagine that any warranty payoff will be prorated for wear.

Maybe I'm missing the point of this great deal but for what I'll pay for warranty for 5 tires, for less than $100 more I can buy a tire if one gets trashed.

FWIW, the majority of the miles these tires see will be offroad.

Anybody have advice? Thanks for any and all suggestions.

I always sign up for the warranties. They came in handy so many times.

I had to replace a few Perelli Scorpion tire on my old Harley F150. I had a bolt through the sidewall. They reodered the tires and replaced them, no questions asked.

Deffinitely worth the money.

Rod, I did this on mine, and have used it once. Adam used his warranty in less than a week after he first got his BFG's.

Hey Albie. How's things?

Got the tires from Steve at Discount Tire on Sunset near Mtn. Vista. 702-435-1533. Great guy. He worked hard to find the tires. I got 37x13.50x18.

You been up to the Logandale Trails yet? Wanna go?
