Good thing I bought a roadhazard warranty for my Firestone Dayton Daytona H rated tires. They are a great tire for the price. I went to put my Vibe to bed tonight and noticed a nail sticking out of the sidewall of one of the tires. I only got them 5k miles ago. Good thing for the roadhazard. It will now pay for itself when they replace the tire. I bought the extra coverage knowing I'll have my Vibe for 10 years at least. Now, if only I could get roofers to stop shooting their nail guns off into the air, and having their nails end up in the sides of my tires
Yeah, in 35 years of driving, EVERY time I don't buy the road hazard warranty, I end up wasting a tire within the first year. Every time I buy road hazard, I NEVER use it! It ends up being worth it, only because I avoid the hassle of having to put on the spare, take it to the garage, wait for the replacement to be mounted, etc.
My 2003 Vibe Base Auto 2-tone Salsa "SalsaWagon" was built in May 2002. I acquired it in Feb 2004/Traded it in on a 2016 Honda HR-V in Feb 2018.
