Road Hazard Tire Coverage: On-road Motorcycle Tires
On-road motorcycle tires can last up to five years with proper care and maintenance. Beyond this period, safety experts recommend changing the tires to reduce the risk of tire-related accidents. Sometimes, however, tires get damaged and you need to replace them before you’ve even worn them out. Road Hazard Tire Coverage is an excellent add-on to purchase at your dealership as it ensures you can have your tire(s) replaced should it get damaged unexpectedly.
Road Hazard Tire Coverage
When purchasing a tire coverage plan, it’s important to be clear about the specifics of the coverage, so you’ll know the exact terms under which your tires will be replaced with $0 deductible on your part. For instance, if you’re purchasing a road hazard tire plan, you should know that your tires will be replaced should they get damaged because you accidentally rode over such road hazards as nails, shards of glass, debris, and pot holes.
The exact specifics still depend on what the third-party provider and dealership have agreed upon. But to give you an idea of how it works, here’s an example of tire coverage inclusions:
- Coverage for tires, rims, and wheels
- Coverage period of up to five years
- 24-hour roadside assistance
- $0 deductible and no out-of-pocket expense
You may not think you need this program at the time you are purchasing your motorcycle, but you’ll soon thank yourself for taking this precautionary measure and securing future tire replacements. This means that even if your financial situation has changed, you will still be able to afford a tire replacement because of this tire replacement program.
Tire Safety Reminders
1. Always check the manufacturing date. If you’re a new owner, you should know that just because the tires you’re purchasing are new, meaning they’ve never been out of the shop and never been used, it doesn’t mean they’re still in excellent condition. Tires have an expiry date, which is usually six years from manufacturing date. Beyond this period, the tires may not be safe for use anymore as the rubber may have become brittle.
2. Always maintain the right tire pressure. Your manufacturer has a specific tire pressure for your specific tires. You can find this on the side wall of your tire. Your homeowner’s manual will also have this information. Bear in mind that the PSI indicated on the tire is the maximum tire pressure.
3. Follow manufacturer’s load recommendation. Your motorbike has a specific load capacity, which you should strictly follow as your tires will take the brunt when you overload your bike.
