Thanks for this, I did not know that. Always thought they would patch, if possible, and was one of the reasons I have always turned down the wheel and tire insurance. The other being that I could buy nearly 8 new tires for the cost of the insurance!

Don't forget damaged wheels.

One wheel replacement and it covers the cost of your insurance.

Just something to think about.
