Is it worth cost, who has used it and what was the experience of you had tire damage?

I've replaced ALOT of tires with it. Never had one question asked. I'd never buy tires without it.

Absolutely. I have used it on all but one set of tires. It has paid for itself several times over. If you have 20"+ rims, you will have more flats and more screws/nails. And with the higher cost of those tires, it's worth it. If you are getting a cheap set and low end tire, maybe not. I don't know what it was with my old set of 20" rims, but they picked up more screws and nails than any other tires I had.

I think it's worth the money, a brand new tire if one is unfixable for pennies on the dollar is a pretty easy decision.

This. I've had multiple sets where they replaced as many as 3 outta 4. Never looked at me funny, never asked a question even when it was obviously off-road damage. I'll never turn it down if it's offered.

What do you guys do to tires????? I've never gotten it. Discount gives you the pro-rated warranty for free. So if's a 50K tire and you destroy it at 25K, you get a new one at half price.

I've bought over a dozen sets of tires of them and think I've only had one tire that wasn't repairable. If I was buying road hazard for every set I would have lost my arse.

To be fair, I'm hard on tires, my wife, not so much.

I get it. I’ve used it a lot. The #1 thing I use it for is the free lifetime balance. Drastically extends the life of the tire rotating & balancing every 5,000 miles.

Yep rotate and balance will cost you $70 at DT.

Yes it is definitely worth it.

Just last month, just out side Denver on my way back home, got a flat, big metal object in my tire. Got my spare put on, and my first thought was to risk it and wait till I get back to Dallas where I can use the insurance and get a new tire. Then I thought, hey wait a sec, maybe they have discount tire in Colorado. Get on my iPhone, google search discount tire, boom I got discount tire shops all around me! Took to nearest shop, like 5 minutes away, they did not have my tire in stock, and they quit making them. My tires were not end of life, but they were close, so what the heck, got all new tires, and of course one was free, and they even knocked more off to help me out because they knew my tires were not end of life yet.

So what you will find, normally when your tire gets damaged, there is a good chance that is a great time to get all new tires with 25% off because one tire is free, and they will probably knock more off. There is nothing better than all new tires!!

I get it on all my tires. I even added it to the tires when I bought a new SUV. It's paid for itself on each set because I usually end up replacing at least one or two tires per set (we always seem to get sidewall punctures).


Thanks,
Rich

Get it. I've had it for years and used it at least twice. Each time, new tire, balance and mount. Didn't cost a thing. Great service!

You're not very hard on tires if you've only had one that wasn't repairable. I'm good for a sidewall punch at least once per year.

Funny how many get this compared to an extended warranty...I view them the same and generally speaking have come out WAY ahead not buying either. It's an insurance....you know there rarely are insurance companies that go broke.

So no, I don't get them.

Discount Tire would not offer if they were not making money on the deal, I’ve heard the mark up in tires is extreme so it may be a deal where both sides can win because they are making 2x cost on the initial sale.

Never get insurance and never really needed it. The money I would have spent would have been a huge waste.
For example Discount tire wanted $2,100 for my tires 35/12.50/20’s thats with no road hazard warranty, I paid $1,400 at my local tire shop for the same exact tire, overpriced but they are nice and smile when they take your money.

And I’m in and out in a matter of minutes when I need something done at the local shop.

Mine was included when I bought my tires for my truck. Hadn't needed it so far, but it's nice to know it's there.

Tire markup is around 30-35% and add the warranty that say on the low side 75% of people never use it’s a huge money maker. I usually buy it on trailer tires but that’s about it.

Discount is a solid company. I used to get it but last two sets I haven’t. I didn’t realize they charge for rotation and balance. Last couple times I went in they didn’t charge me and I didn’t have the warranty. Makes sense if you do though $70 ain’t pocket change over the life of a 50k-60k mile tire!

I’ve never been charged for a rotation and balance at Discount and never purchase the warranty.
