Funny you said that. There’s a thread about Michelin’s. PS4+ and how great they are. I’m thinking buy 4 at tire rack, get the road hazard included free from them and for about same price as a road hazard policy from dealer you get apparently the best tires around as well with the insurance. No rim protection though.

I also think of this as a marriage saver. My wife has a very bad record of curbing wheels. Now when she drives the P-car, I don't have to worry as any damage will be repaired. Well worth the investment compared to the cost of a divorce ;-)

That's some good suspension you have.

I suffered a similar fate with my BMW. Bought tire and rim coverage; 5 years $1.4k if I remember correctly. Figured if I loose two tires to flat or even one rim to scuff I will recover it. Its like any insurance - you don't need it until you do, that is life.
