Nope, on my policy windshield for the 992 was around $300/yr extra with a $250 deductible...and you can be SURE they would cancel the coverage after 1 claim.

He's excellent at what he does. Very reasonable. Plus, he drives a Porsche 911 Turbo with HREs.

I totally agree. In the DC area Ali is my guy; he's done a fantastic job on numerous vehicles of mine: http://aplusdetailing.com/

Declined the dealer tire/wheel protection (> $1.5K IIRC). 3 months later pothole = flat + scratched wheel + (maybe unnecessary) alignment. The tire and scratch repair were < $500, but the alignment (which would not have been covered anyway) was $700 from the dealer (including some camera alignment). Still glad I didn't buy the dealer coverage, but maybe 2 more replacement tires and I might have a different opinion.

Not on Cup-2's or whatever tire is considered a competition tire - check details when purchasing

My dealer quoted me just about $3k, that would replace up to 8 tire/rims.

Thoughts from the membership please.

Don't forget your auto insurance may already cover wheel/rim damage under your collision deductible...mine does.

This is the dedicated 992 Forum. Cups don't come stock on a 992.

Have you actually submitted a claim for a replacement tire with Tire Rack? You have to get preauthorization to get a replacement tire. How the hell how does that work? So you're essentially stuck without a fourth tire for days (up to 5 according to Tire Rack) before you even get a decision on whether you can get the replacement cost of your tire reimbursed? And then if you do get authorized, you then have to either (1) figure out a way to get your car to a tire shop or (2) order the tire you need, or (3) both.

Seems like a pain in the *** the more I read about it.
