Hi,
I just bought a 2010 IS 250 AWD and I am picking it up next week. The finance guy was trying to sell me a 5 year $699 warranty on the tires and rims. He was telling me that since these are low profile tires that they can easily get a bubble or a blowout and the rims can be damaged. It will cover the replacement of tires and rims for 5 years no limit.
My wife was interested but I have been driving for over 20 years and have never had a damaged rim from a pothole or curb. When you purchase tires from Costco they give you a tire warranty for free and other places usually charge you $10 a tire. It seems like a ripoff.
Are these vehicles susceptible to this damage? Is it worth it?
Thanks in advance.
