Product Description

This benefit provides vehicle tire repair or replacement when damaged by a road hazard*, including conditional vehicle wheel replacement.  *Road hazard is defined as: objects and road conditions such as potholes, rocks, nails, metal parts, wood debris, plastic or composite scraps, or any item causing tire damage other than normal wear and tear.

Customer Tire Benefit Coverage

Should a customer require road hazard tire coverage, this benefit provides reimbursement coverage up to $30 per incident for the repair of a flat tire damaged by a Road Hazard.  If the Road Hazard damaged tire is non-repairable and has more than 3/32nds of tread depth remaining, it is eligible for replacement with a comparable new tire—limited to one (1) use during any consecutive six (6) month time period.  Tire replacement benefit also includes up to $25 for mounting, balancing, valve stem, taxes and fees.  Tire should be returned to the Selling Dealer – where tire benefit will be based on the average retail tire value, as determined by VAS, for the replacement of the covered vehicle tire with one of “like kind and quality.”  If replacement tire is upgraded beyond OEM standards or exceeds “like kind and quality” replacement value, VAS reserves the right to make reimbursement at the generally accepted retail replacement cost for the appropriate OEM tire.

The aggregate program Tire Benefit for the term is $2500 for the “non-luxury” vehicles and $4000 for the “luxury” vehicles.  This benefit is limited to the original set of tires on the vehicle at the time of purchase and/or any documented new replacement tires purchased for the vehicle.

A tracking number, issued via a toll-free call, will be required prior to tire replacement or repair.  Data processing and reporting will be available on the VAS web site.

Customer Wheel Benefit Coverage

Should a customer require road hazard wheel coverage, this benefit provides reimbursement coverage for conditional wheel damage.  If the wheel on which the covered damaged tire was mounted does not hold air after the tire was repaired, the wheel must be inspected for replacement consideration.  Reimbursement to replace the wheel will be based on the retail replacement value, as determined by VAS, for the covered wheel with one of “like kind and quality.”  Replacement of a covered wheel is limited to one (1) use during any consecutive six (6) month time period.  If replacement wheel is upgraded beyond OEM standards or exceeds “like kind and quality” replacement value, VAS reserves the right to make reimbursement at the generally accepted retail replacement cost for the appropriate OEM wheel.

A tracking number, issued via a toll free call, will be required prior to wheel replacement or repair.  Data processing and reporting will be available on our VAS web site.
