Anyone buy runflats from them?

If you bought the warranty, did they send it with the tires?


Thanks.

I've bought tires from them they are OK on pricing but then you have to take it to the installer so the price is almost the same as going through Discount Tire store.

IMO a warranty is free money for them. I never purchase a warranty any more after the struggles I have had getting them to honor it.

You mean the road hazard warranty they sell?

No I have never bought that from them in the six sets of tires for the Vettes that I've bought from them. Only one time did I have a GS-D3 on a C4 that got two nails and had to be replaced, since it was about 2/3'rds through its' life I just bought a second rear to go with the replacement tire. They pro-rated both so it wasn't that bad.

Never had a problem, knock on wood, with a run flat.

Oh I deal with the local store not the online store.

I have no local store, so I bought online. I think the warranty was about $100 more. I am still trying to get them to send me the paperwork on that....

Is this what your looking for?

This one would apply to you then:
