Wheel and tire pkg

Dsifer · 01-13-2018, 03:13 PM

Does anyone have opinions on the wheel and tire package thinking about purchasing but I've heard there is some BS to it, Like to dealer not wanting to change the rim un less it's leaking and also if the tire is worn out they will not change the tire even if there was a bubble

I have bought wheel/tire protection packages for all of my cars and have never regretted it. Of course, roads in PA are terrible, and I have had numerous wheels and tires replaced under these policies. I am not certain if dealer discretion plays a role - my experience has been positive.

Hope that helps

I have it, and so far it's been good. I had a slow leak in the rear tire from a visual screw. Took it to the dealer told them which tire and it was change. No questions asked... The price I got for the package is break even in 3 years if I change out each tire.

I pretty much had the car 1 month and bent 2 rims and 3 bubbles, pure headache!!

can you bring car to any dealer or just the dealer you got package from?

You have to check the fine print in the policy. I believe mine allows me to take the car anywhere - except that a deductible will apply if I don't go back to the dealer from which I bought it.

That's a good deal... I paid $1500 for 3 years including GAP insurance.

I've never read of any experience with a BMW dealer denying a legitimate claim
