A couple of thoughts on tire failures:
First, these are covered by the comprehensive. not the collision part of the vehicle insurance.
Second, sometimes tire failures can be attributed road hazards - and the tire manufacturer may deny the claim. In that case, the vehicle insurance covers it under the comprehensive part.
In many cases, it becomes easier to file a claim with the insurance company and let them deal with the tire manufacturer.
- and it is my understanding that claims filed under the comprehensive coverage will not cause your insurance rates to go up (unless you file a bunch of them!)
