Apologies for the dirt and water as it has been terrible weather in Houston today.
My daughter's A3 got a new tire from a puncture and others have new wheels from potholes. The cost of alloys/tires just about requires insurance, much like iPhone insurance (I'd rather pay a few bux up front and have peace of mind.

"Few bux". My dealer wanted 1,200 for 5yr. Having never scrapped a curb, I declined the insurance.
As someone who always buys AppleCare — and only had to use it several times over 10+ years — I bought the wheel & tire insurance on my RSX. It more than paid for itself when I had to replace 2 16” tires and black chrome wheels in the first year of ownership of that vehicle.
Consequently, with the 19” wheels and tires, I also ponied up the money to buy the wheel, tire & key fob insurance on the S5. So far I haven’t utilized it but with the condition of the roads down here (especially potholes) I’d be very surprised if I don’t use it at some point(s) in the future.
It may not be for everyone but it’s worth the price to me.
