IAS Tire Insurance Not Replacing Rim

Clark Kent · 03-11-2010, 04:50 PM

I went through some pretty severe pot holes during the recent rains in L.A. and 3 of my tires (stock run-flats on my 335i sport) need to be replaced (both passenger-side tires from one pot hole, the front driver-side from another). Luckily, I purchased the wheel and tire warranty from IAS when I purchased my car so I should be all covered...or so I thought.

On the front, driver-side tire, aside from the bruised tire side wall, the wheel itself is bent too. IAS refuses to replace the wheel, however, since the wheel still makes a seal with the tire (no air leaks).

Is this common for this sort of policy? Or should I be more insistent that they replace the wheel? Clearly, I don't feel safe driving on a bent rim.

Thanks for any input!!

Anyone know IAS's phone number?

Safe-Guard is the way to go.
IAS is cheap and horrible
