I didn't own or operate a car for 7+ years until 2017 so I have no clue about tire warranties anymore. The cars I own and now rent on Turo have oddball tires (google P155/70R19 to be confused, lol) and they only go for 15K at best, maybe 20K if you're lucky. In my area, flats are part of life but I can patch a nail in less than 60 seconds without taking the wheel off and sometimes I don't even have to inflate it -- the tire pressure warning is really good and the 2 times I've gotten a tire in 7 months of driving, I just pulled over, jacked it up, pulled the nail and inserted the patch rubber, trimmed and drove off. Didn't lose much pressure and topped off at home.
I try to balance cashback with possible extended warranty options but since my portfolio is so thin/slim there's not much to worry about, but I did put the card benefits of my future cards in my spend comparison app to see how it may affect spend. I'd take a 0.5% cashback loss if it was something I wanted to cover with more warranty or easier claim process (or say price protection, etc). I never buy warranties or specific insurance because it's a waste (math-wise), but if they're going to give it to me anyway, I'd trade 0.5% if it made sense.
Off I go to rabbit hole extended warranty coverage and tires! I bet it is NOT covered, but I want to see who tried what.
