Best Road Hazard Tire Insurance?

zimbim · 07-30-2008, 11:31 AM

Guys,

Based on a suggestion I recieved over a year ago, I bought road hazard ins. but now I can't find the info. I paid only $25 bucks for it at the time and used it last may and they reimbursed me for the runflat. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think you are referring the The Auto Club. http://www.theautoclub.com

I used them too. Signed up a little over a year ago for around $25. I never got a renewal for it and when i went to their web site it redirected me to AAA's site. It looks like AAA bought them or maybe AAA owned them and discontinued the service. Either way they are gone.

They changed names because of AAA. Here's the new website; I have been meaning to sign up!
http://www.paragonmotorclub.com/

Edit: Bad news, they changed their rules and now you need to be a member of their roadside assistance before you can purchase their tire plan.

Ok cool. Their prices went up considerably. I don't get their pricing structure as they group them in 3 classes by manufacture. If I have a Chevrolet like a Corvette I pay $59.00 a year. If I have a BMW I pay $109.00 a year. Well it is a moot point for me in FL as they don't offer the Wheel & Tire insurance here any more.

Is this true? I signed up last year with them. Does this mean when my plan is up I cannot resign?

I don't believe in road hazard because my dealer would not honor my RFT that had bubbles. I would rather have NON RFT's and a nice spare in my trunk.

The dealer has nothing to do with this, paragon is a 3rd party insurance company. Best $28 I spent lately, had an RFT with a bubble replaced at dealer for $340, Paragon fully reimbursed me in ~1 month.

Any other company which offers warranty for tires and rimms. Too bad Paragon doesn't offer this in FL

It means they'll drop you without any notification, so when you actually need to file a claim, they'll say "sorry, we dropped your coverage, have a nice day"

this happened to me this morning. i'm livid

Any other good cheap company?

Has anyone filed a claim against the policy sold by Flow BMW in NC? Their pricing is very good and they are a bimmerfest sponsor. What about other dealers? Can anyone recommend one?
