Wheel and Tire protection

I did not opt for the BMW wheel and tire protection program, thinking it was only another way for the dealership to get some money. Now in hindsight, it probably would've been something nice. Are there any good companies out there offering this service as BMW does not allow for it after vehicle purchase?

That's funny. I did opt for it but went back today after about 1.5 months of owning the car and returned it to get most of my money back. I would rather spend it on a second set of wheels and tires.

I got tire wheel insurance before. I had flat tire on a sunday and no dealers were open, so I still had to buy tire at another shop. Then I got my claim denied by the insurance, they said "uneven wear,"

So now, I rather self insure, and I can choose to go to tire shop of my choosing and time, instead of having to go dealer or getting a denied claim.

CJ's tire by me did tires, not wheels, for $15 per even though the tires came with the car and we're not purchased there. I have used it 2x already and they just give you a new tire, mount and balance it. Some shop by you must offer something similar.

the bmw tire and wheel program is excellent.....if you do have an issue during closing hours have the car towed to a bmw dealer.

EasyCare does T&W after the fact....

I had the BMW T&W on all my cars and has paid for itself time and time again.....

Might it be possible to get it from the dealer still? I also opted for it, 1 pot hole and 2 bubbled tires later it's already paid for itself.
