A Sales person from another dealer told me that it is illegal to sell this in NY state. It cost a few hundred dollars and according to the dealer I may get my car from it covers wheels and tires from ANY road hazard damage. I opt for the 18" rims and figured i can use this in NY. Is it illegal to sell in NY? Thanks all.

I bought in VA and it is good, already had to have a nail plugged and they paid.

but I have no clue about all the legal stuff in this rulling.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ins.state.ny.us/rg030716.htm">http://www.ins.state.ny.us/rg030716.htm</a</li></ul>

It covered wheels, tires, excess mileage up to 1,000 miles and body damage not covered by insurance. What do you guys think?

I bought it for the A6. It cost $495 for 36-month lease with zero deductible. However, excess mileage up to 1000 miles would be charged 5 cents per mile, which would bring the total cost to $545. Also bought the road hazard tire coverage for $299. With 17-inch wheels and NY potholes it will pay for itself with the first pothole encounter.

If its illegal to sell it in NY then is it voided?

Please give more details. What is excessive wear? Does it cover dings? Can you purchase only wheel and tire insurance?

TIA

The tire and wheel insurance was a separate one. I could order it without the other. Since I bought my car in CT I figure they would honor it in CT.

The excess-wear insurance covers up to $2500 for whatever I would be charged for excess wear. It would not cover damage that a standard auto insurance would cover unless such damage would cost less than $500 to repair.

For New York residents the wheel road hazard coverage is insured by American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida. I figure this is done to conform to NYS regulations.
