Discount Tires Warranty, is it worth it when buying new tires?

It was disappointing to find out that the sidewall puncture is not repairable on one of my General Altimax RT43’s. I picked up a sheet metal screw while in South Dakota last month. It has a slow leak and loses about 1psi per day. I think I could have got another 15k miles out of them otherwise. I am having a set of 235/60/R18 Michelin Defender T+H installed this week and decided to up the aspect ratio +1 since I have a 2” lift installed and do road trips and camping in national forests. Discount Tires will be doing the install and they offer a “Warranty Certificate” for $30+ per tire which lasts for 3 years. The warranty will replace a damaged tire no questions asked.

I was wondering if you guys think that is a good idea to have or if most of you self-insure and consider the risks low.

I buy it most of the time. Do remember that tires automatically include a prorated warranty and whatever mileage warranty that the tire manufacturer provides if you decline the road hazard warranty.

Also, ask your local store this question: How many years is the road hazard warranty good for? Clarify if 3 years is all, because I think it’s up to 10, at least for the one local to me.

It has been a long time since my last tire, and hence warranty purchase, so please verify first if what I am saying is true….

Yes, they will pro-rate based on the mileage you get and the mileage warranty on the tire. So say the other 3 got 25000 mi out of 50k mi warranty your other three replacements will be at 50% cost. Were you able to ask if the 3 yrs is really the limit? I’ve bought them most of the time because (at least the local one) said 10….
