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!

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 |
