This was years ago, DT was including the Road Hazard coverage with no additional charge. I don't know if that was a short time sale or what. But if I'd bought direct from DT then, I would have had the coverage for the same price I paid to the dealer and didn't get the coverage. Before buying from the dealer, I asked and they said the RH coverage was included at that price.
As I turned out, I didn't need the coverage and learned to avoid that dealer, a worthwhile lesson.

IDK but I bought tires this year for the wife's car and it WAS NOT included. Neither was it last year for my car so I guess it is no longer a thing.
