Just bought a 2010 A4Q sport(18")/prem+/B&O for my kid. I swapped out the summer tires for Bridgestone RE960 A/S's (non run flats). I've been shoppping around for a good tire/rim protection package - most now have no cosmetic coverage and the prices have gone way up (I paid $600 for a 5 year package for my TTR s-line with 19" wheels/rims including cosmetics 2 years ago.) Now, the dealership is asking $895 for 5 years without cosmetics. Anyone have any luck with any products out there. Is it worth even doing it. The Bridgestones are around $200/tire. I did find a 5 year package from Zurich for $595, but there is a $1500 max coverage payment over the 5 years and no cosmetics. Never had one of these packages for my Porsche, but drove it so little, it was immaterial. Anyway, I'd appreciate your experience or suggestions.

Thanks!!

I was offered one of these packages for the 2011 Panamera 4 I just picked up. I forget exactly, but it was around $800 for 5 years, but it included cosmetics. I passed anyway. Not worth it to me. If it is to you, you can likely do better than what you were offered.
