So if you have two different setups like myself (20's for summer, 19's for winter) any set on the car at the time of the incident will be covered. Considering my rubber is in the $300 range it is way worth it

One more thing..... If you ever get a flat w/ a runflat you will have to search very very hard for a tire place that will actually repair it I called about a dozen looking to get a runflat which had a little nail in the middle of the tread rixed and nobody would touch it..... only would replace it.
I wasn't planning on purchasing this tire/rim insurance but now I think I will. I will also have two setups. My dealer did not mention it to me...
Question for you about the flat with a runflat. Won't the BMW dealer repair/replace it (if you've purchased both sets of tires/rims from BMW)?
