@ Bob and Edgar: This may be one of the only warranties that make sense anymore. Considering the price of tires, it is a small price to pay for piece of mind. Almost all tire stores offer this; any damage to the side wall is usually deemed irreparable and you can have your tires rotated on top of it. It would be hard for me to estimate how much this has saved me over the years, but I know I'm way, way, way ahead.
