Yep. Did it with my 2017 Grand Sport, Wife's X5 BMW SUV and my C8. They will write down the info on each tire. Good from when you get it. Says 3 years but was told they only go by max 2/32 inch thread depth. Standard deal all in their computer. They look up you car and tire option and will quote a number. Much cheaper than GM BUT does not include wheels. They get tires at wholesale prices and in most cases will just fix a flat free BUT if nail etc is within 1 inch of the side wall it "requires" a new tire.

My experience is they don't hold you to the 3 year time period as long as the tires are not 10 years past the manufacture date on the sidewall.

The road hazard certificates can also be different prices depending on the shop. I call around first.

If you decide to get it, make sure you compare prices. These are high profit margin contracts for the dealership. You can get them for a substantial discount. Try Todd at MacMulkin and Dennis at Laurel Chevy.

I just bought the tire/wheel insurance from a dealer. Your comment on your wife driving the car has helped me feel better about spending the money. I was starting to regret my decision but thinking about my wife driving a C8 solo (or any corvette) makes the insurance sound necessary. Thanks for brining that up.

You can purchase tire warranty at Discount Tires. I took my car there when I got it home, they recorded the tires and I brought the warranty certificates.

Got my tire/wheel warranty through Fitchner. He had "special holiday pricing" back in December. I don't have any DT's near me. Previously had a wheel/tire from a 3rd party that I bought from a dealer. I think it was Maxima tire & wheel. Used them for 2 flat repairs and 1 bent rim repair. I went with GM because with MAG I had to get authorization, pay first, then get reimbursed. I figured with the GM plan, there's a dealer in every town.
