Mantis, can you please provide some info on the insurance?
Thx.
Will do Z -- on Saturday when I get back into town and can get you the information from my glove compartment

Basically, what I remember is, it was $580 for tire and wheel insurance on anything I hit on a public road that either caused a flat or cracked the rim (will get the details for ya). It lasts for 5 years or 50,000? miles whichever comes first and the tire needs to have some minimum tread depth.

One Michelin Pilot Sport tire costs $335; add the labor and the total bill came to $418, insurance picked up $407 of that.

So I only need one more flat and I will be ahead of the game!


PS. You might be wondering why I don't remember more details, but the dealer had me on file, and they processed the whole 'insurance' claim for me - it is with an independant company - so I was just worried about getting back on the road
