I expect this is a polarizing question depending on where you live (and plan to drive). I'll be driving in PA, NY, NJ and CT.
When picking up my new Ghilbi and going through the dealer offered extras at final signing, the "premiere tire and wheel road hazard insurance" was a big push (which also includes replacement for cosmetic damage). Dealer sited numerous recent customers that had taken advantage of this type of coverage and how simple it was to have the selling dealer take care of everything if damage occurs.
I have the 20" Urano's. When I said no thanks, it was like the worst decision I could have made for the car. $2800 for 5-years after several No's.
After a little Google searching in the dealership and hearing from a few folks who drive in pothole country, they all spoke of how easy it was to damage these big low profile and wide rims. And how expensive to replace. Dealer indicated each Urano rim and tire would be around $2000 to replace.
In the end, I bought the plan. I have 30 days from in-service date to cancel policy for a refund.
Any experiences and input around this type of tire & rim road hazard insurance from Maserati dealer, (Safe-Guard is the hazard plan administrator)?
