Tire Rack - Road Hazard Program?

[Kelemvor]

I'm about to order some tires from Tirerack and was just wondering about their Road Hazard program. Has anyone ever bought it and had to make a claim?

Just wondering if they are easy to work with or if it's a hassle to get any sort of reimbursement. Or if you just think it's not worth it and don't bother.

Thanks.

bump, curious about the same.

My last set from Tire Rack, blew out a tire from a huge nail about 4 months after purchase and had to get a new one for $200.

Worth it. I purchased it with my tires and used it 3-4 months later because I hit a pot hole.

To get reimbursement, you'll need an auto shop (my case would be my dealer's service center) to call into their help line and provide them the information why you need a new tire. You'll pay the auto-shop first, and the reimbursement will come back as a check. I think the whole process from contacting them to getting the reimbursement check is about 1 month? Getting a new tire shipped from tirerack and get it reinstall to my vehicle took less than a week.
