Yesterday, I purchased a tire warranty from Discount Tire in Houston. Their plan provides a full replacement of the tire for factory defects or road hazard damage.
Like others, I was concerned about the high cost of replacing tires on the CTR particular'y due to the risk of with driving on Houston's pothole laden roads. I previously purchased a tire warranty for my Golf R and it paid for itself because I had two tire incidents with that car's low profile tires including a sidewall perforation due to road hazard. So, getting a tire warranty for the CTR seemed like a no brainer. It was a bit pricey at $190 which was more than the cost of the Golf's tire warranty (that one was around $135). But they replaced all my lug nuts with the OEM black lugs + locks I ordered from the UK plus they also mounted my spare tire and wheel I got as part of the spare tire retrofit kit. I know I could still lose a rim, but at least I've got the tires covered.
I've read about others considering wheel + tire warranty with Honda but has anyone else just purchased a tire warranty? What was your cost?
