It is not worth it. Tell me, when was the last time you had tire damage that was not repairable? For me, it was about 30 years ago. Figure you will damage a tire beyond repair very 20 years or so. They want $64 plus tax to protect the tires. If you are unlucky enough to damage a tire beyond repair, not likely, then how much more than $64 will it cost to replace a tire? Maybe $40? Are you willing to spend $64 to save $40 IF AND THAT IS A BIG IF you damage one tire?
My car tires are $250+ EACH. In the last two years I've had three tires replaced by discount tire (over $600 total) for road hazard (see my post above) Two from hittig an expose water main cover, one from a sidewall nail. over $750 in tires replace under warranty at my cost of $64 for the set of 4. pretty good return on investment. I will admit, 40 series Z rated tires are much easier to be damaged than a LT tire. And I don't pay for the warranty on my truck tires, but do on my 40 series car tires and Maxxis TT tires.
