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?

Not with a Civic, but I have used DTD and their road hazard warranty for the last few sets of tires. I've had at least one issue with each of the three sets I've had with the warranty and it paid for itself each time. DTD is so easy to work with and in all three incidences, they didn't even want the tire back. Just sent out a replacement and I was on my way.
