Is Tire-for-Life worth it ?
#18
its a good deal, it pays for it self. just remember that u have to do all the services at the dealer u got the tires for life from(1k,5k,10k,15k,20k...ect). all u should have to pay for is tax on the tires/labor and aligment if needed.

i agree....it is much more of a saving to purchase tires separately. its not really a necessity to have the tires for life as insurance because it could become necessary at one point, but the likelihood of that occuring will be slim to none. please read the fine print to make sure you are qualified to receive the benefits from the purchase- if you choose to do so.

Just remember that they get you with the labor rate and the mounting and balancing cost, as well as rotating charges, if everything is included go for it, if not pass, also check what replacement tires they have and they replace them when they get to the 2/32nd, not the 4/32 when most people start noticing lose of traction and sliding, it also depends on the dealer and who they get the tires from

I wouldn't do it but i'm a enthusiast. This deal is good for the average Joe who does all his maintenance and what not at the dealer and doesn't want to deal with the hassle of shopping around and finding a reputable shop.

Good deal only if you keep the car 10 years or past 100K miles. You'd more than likely change all 4 tires maybe 3 times within 100K miles on a car like this. Maybe only 2 times. If you had a high performance car with 160 tread wear rated tires I might say it was more than worth it. Even the NSX corner specific ultra high performance specialty OE tire didn't cost me anywhere near $330 per tire. Also, most tire shops will charge you about $60-$80 to mount and balance 4 tires.
I think you'd find if you post the actual specs on the tire sold on this car, the price would be nowhere near $330 each. I think $330 each is what the dealership would charge you including their $120/hour rate with a 2 hour installation charge. Or something like that.
