Question

Does car insurance cover tires?

Standard car insurance policies only cover unexpected incidents. Any damage done to the tires, which is part of normal wear and tear as well as preventable damage, will not be covered under insurance.

Some comprehensive policies or add-on covers may offer coverage for tire damage. But even these policies only cover tire damage caused by accidents, theft, vandalism, or weather hazards. Unexpected car troubles are unavoidable, and it is important to understand which ones are covered under your car insurance.

This is why it is important to choose your coverage based on your driving conditions and location. Apart from the standard coverage, you can also opt for add-on coverage like Road Hazard Protection, and Tire and Wheel Protection to help cover unexpected tire damage.
