  • wheel and tire insurance

    did anybody else get the wheel and tire insurance. it's only $5 a month and they'll replace rims and tires if damaged in any way. like if you hit a curb when parallel parking or whatever. i got it bc i have the 18 in rims that cost $750 a pop to replace from GM so i figured it was worth it bc i dont have to worry about damaging them in any way.

    Where did you get that from? GM? They never mentioned any type of "wheel insurance" when I bought the car...they mentioned everything else though.

      yea through GM. you might want to ask if interested. i think it's worth it to have one less thing to worry about messing up. i scratched one when cleaning it bc there was a rock in the brush and i was going to get a new one, but i was able to polish it out. good thing i waxed the rims when i got it.

        intersting, never heard of wheel and tire insurance outside of regular car insurance coverage. i can parallel park with the best of them, i just worry about potholes and stuff. i may look into it.

          Ehhh...I fought hard to get my monthly payment where it is now...adding $5 to it, as little as it may be, would still defeat my efforts I'll just take my chances. Ever since I got the car I'd be careful to stay as far from curbs as possible when pulling in, then just adjusting into the spot using my mirrors.

                  but they can't be covered under things like you accidentally getting too close to a curb and scratching the hell out of them right? It's probably for theft?

                    I was under the assumption that they are totally covered... there's still a deductable basically they go under like your collision insurance. It's more for a theft of if you wreck your car... you get your rims replaced!

                      I got the wheel and tire insurance because there are a million pot holes around here, specially in the city of Trenton. They just started to offer this, so thats why most you weren't asked when you bought your car.

                      This insurance covers everything, if it gets bent, scratch, nails in tires whatever reason they are fully covered.
