Lifetime tire replacement?
I was at the dealer for my M3, was offered a 'lifetime' tire replacement for $2,259 for all tire replacements due to wear or tire damage as well as wheel damage.
Is this a good deal do you think? |

See DJ9's tires from his track thread. In his case it would be a steal! Basically, looking at the tirerack that's about another full set plus another set of rears (I usually go through two sets of rears for every front set on my RWD cars). How many miles do you plan to keep the car? Under my driving style that would make my break even point ~50,000 miles.

There HAS to be some sort of no track clause, otherwise the company underwriting it would go under in a week.

What about slashed tires? Do they make you go through your insurance, or will they cover that too? If they do cover it, is there a limit? Some dishonest people out there, obviously not me, might slash their own tires every 10K miles or so.

Also, at $2,300, that is about 3 sets of tires. I guess it depends how long you will keep the car....I assume it is non-transferable to a subsequent owner....also, what will they replace it with? I bet it is an OEM equivalent, which could be junk. Make sure you reas ALL the fine print first, and really think about it... I would rather pick and choose my own rubber....and pay for it. Good luck....

There has to be a clause about track driving or "excessive" replacement or something....maybe its limited to once per year or once per every other year or something?

The tires are expensive. It's more like 2 sets or less, not 3.

I got this, thinking it would pay for itself with 2-sets of tires. I have to make sure (as you guys say) they will use OEM tires.
It includes free alignment for life, wiper blades, battery etc, but the big thing is the tires. |

I called about the terms I was thinking maybe rather pay as I go. Was told OEM tires are used and any damage (rims or tires) are replaced with no extra charge to me not necessary to go thru my insurance first.
I figure if I get two full sets of tires I will break even |
