Default Wheel and Tire Warranty

I am wondering if anyone on here have Wheel and Tire Warranty. If so, whats a good price for it? My dealer charged me $600 bucks for a 5 year term. I am trying to figure out if this is a good deal. I have 30 days to cancel it and get 100% refund.

Also, I am wondering if I really need it, I can't imagine flat tires being common for ON ROAD driving.

Please share thoughts on Tire Warranty value and experiences with STOCK wheel and Tires.

I paid the 6 hundo for my Audi wheel and tire warranty, I have had 1 blow out, 1 nail through the side wall, 1 tire and rim damaged beyond repair on a Chicago pot hole, and 1 tie damaged by my teenage son learning to drive. Well Worth the cost...................
I also got the tire care for my RR winter wheels from Discount tire however the rims are not covered.

This is truely one of the newer BIGGEST JOKE's in the industry.
Look at the terms of the tire replacement, hard as hell to get things covered.
You would be alot better off saving the money for when you need a new set of tires, that can, by the way, be warrantied by the tire stores for about $25 a tire.
As for the wheels, they are already covered under warranty.
Don't pay this money just so your dealer can make a couple extra $200 or $300 profit cause that is all you are going.

You did the right thing by cancelling. These warranties are just another way to take your money.
