Wheel and Tire Warranty Recommendations?

So my local stealer sells a wheel and tire warranty which appears to be a "house brand". I know Audi has one these days.

What's the forum's recommendation on this for a new C7 S6 with stock 20" wheels? Hit? Skip? Which one?

TIA!

I would probably skip it.

Tire mfr has it's own warranty and if you get curb rash you want to use the company of your choice not what the warranty company wants you to use

Good point - I'll check if I have to use a particular company or not for repairs. I think one C5 S6 wheel was more than my comprehensive deductible so maybe I should think about that too. Just seemed like $500-800 for a "warranty" (really insurance I suppose but they seem to be called warranties) might not be a bad deal with the pothole-ridden roads in COS....

Thanks!
