Wheel and Tire Warrantee

[mikestevens]

Hi All,

I have had terrible luck with my 2018 Stinger tires and wheels.
I am now in the market for a 2022 Stinger.
I was told that the dealer pricing for wheel/tire warrantee is much more than a second party.
Does anyone know second party wheel/tire warrantees?

I wish now I had bought the wheel and tire coverage when I got my car. At less than 5000 miles I had to buy a $300 tire, and was lucky my wheel survived. Pothole. These low-profile tires are just a blowout waiting to happen.

I've looked into other sources, and none seem satisfactory. Good Sam sells it pretty cheap, but it looks like people have mixed luck getting reimbursed. I think AAA also sells it if you're a member, but I don't know any details.

The good thing about the dealer-offered coverage is that you can (at least theoretically) pull into any Kia dealer and get your wheel or tire fixed or replaced. That would be especially good if you're away from home traveling or whatever.

Seems like my dealer wanted something like $17/mo for the coverage, and I flinched. That one tire would have bought me 17 months of coverage. And it's probably not the last one I'll be buying. And you can't come back later and buy it, so buy it when you get your car and don't look back.

Thanks! My gut is telling me to go with the dealer warrantee.
