Upon purchasing my '08 G35X I was presented with Tires for Life deal. Basically $2000 for replacement of all or any tires for the life of teh car. SInce i plan to own it till the wheels fall off, I thought it was a pretty good deal.

ANything happens to the tires, they replace them with the same OEM Goodyear Eagle RS-A 255/55 R17. Free balance and rotation. etc.

Considering a co-worker just paid $1,100 for 4 new Goodyear RSA's at 30K, it doesn't seem like that bad a deal. If I replace the tires twice or more, then the package pays for itself.

Right?

Anyone else fall for/decide on a "tires for life" package?

 

Never heard of it, thats pretty good deal if you are going to stick with an OEM wheels/tires

 

That's pretty awesome, shame you have to keep your stock wheels. In any case, you HAVE to slam your car. You don't even have to worry about tire wear, just get them replace every 5000 miles.

 

I have this on my dad's audi... and he has 19's.. cost us 3000 on his car... and we are on the third set of tires at 35 K...

They basically assume that people will not use the warranty...

However the OEM tires are not that great... and from what i understand that size can be had for 500 dollars...

So if you get 30K on a set, then it will take 120K miles to pay off...

Try to get the sport wheels... and then this will be a killer deal...

GL

and if you get it, drive the SHHH!!!!TT out of the car

BTW my dad's program includes tire rotations, and alignments, and damage to the wheels.

 

thats a killer deal! i wish bfg had something like that. i have to buy a new set of tires almost every year. i had my car since 04' and i've been through 3 sets of tires. on going on my 4th now ( they are coming with my te's )

 

killer deal for OEM tires... I'd do it if I could

 

- Free tire and or wheel repair if road hazard damage incurred. free tire and or wheel replacement if you incur non-repairable road hazard damage.

- All flats repaired free of charge for life of vehicle, excluding damage by theft or vandalism

- free towing when road hazard damage is incurred and you have multiple flats

- free balance and rotation (balance only on dual sport plans) when road hazard damage incurred

- free front end alignment when road hazard damage is incurred

- Plan will replace tires in your new vehicle at a tread depth of 3/32" or less. Subsequent replacements will occur when your tires reach a depth of 3/32" or less. This plan requires that you balance and rotate your tires every 7,500 miles. Typical tire replacement interval: 20,000-25,000 Miles.

- If contract cancelled within first 30 days after purchase and no claim filed, the entire contract refunded minus $50 admin fee. After 30 days, or if no claim filed, your contract is non-refundable.

 

I would guess that modifying the suspension in any way would void the contract...

 

I dunno, having to bring your car in and balancing your tires every 7500 miles would be annoying to me.

Plus, there's always fine print. Like they'll nail you if your tires run out after 12k miles or something. Or, if you miss a balance/rotation.

 

That would have been nice if they offered that when i got the sedan. Id be going in every 3 months worn down to wire.
