for $9 per tire. Of course, some of these places have limited tire selections that vary from time to time. But their road hazard warranties are reasonably generous. These shops are 'self insured', i.e. they provide your replacement tire out of their inventory and they charge you prorata so if the tire tread depth (in the center) is 1/2 worn you pay 1/2 the price of a new tire. I really see no advantage to buying a third-party insurance policy. And now I bet you feel the same way.... Do note that tire warranties (milage warranties, etc.) may only last four (4) years and then the tire may be deemed "too old" to repair or replace under warranty..... especially if the tire has numerous small cracks in the rubber, aka "dry rot".
