Tire and Wheel Coverage for On-road Motorcycles: Coverage That Matters
When you purchase a new on-road two or three-wheel motorcycle, it usually comes with a manufacturer’s warranty that covers repairs or replacements for defective factory-installed parts. Your tires and wheels aren’t included in this coverage, which is why you should also ask your dealership for their offerings on tire and wheel coverage plans.
Tire and wheel maintenance
It doesn’t take much to maintain your motorcycle’s tires and wheels. Regularly inspecting them for damage, underinflation, tread depth, and balance and alignment. Cleaning your tires, particularly after riding on wet or muddy roads, is likewise an important part of tire care and maintenance.
When you notice something off on one of your tires while riding, you should immediately stop on the side of the road to inspect the issue. A road hazard like a nail, broken glass, or other sharp objects may have damaged the tire. Experts don’t recommend riding with a faulty tire even if it’s only a short distance.
Tire and wheel coverage
When a tire gets damaged from a road hazard, your tire and wheel plan will pay for the new tire(s). This is why it’s important to purchase add-on services like this when you own a Powersports vehicle as this gives you protection against unforeseen expenses. When one or both of your tires are damaged by a road hazard, you can have new tires installed immediately with this program. You won’t have to wait any longer until your financial situation improves or until your next pay comes before you can have your tires replaced.
What’s in the coverage
This type of tire and wheel program is pretty straightforward. You unknowingly ride over a road hazard, your tire gets punctured, and you wait on the side of the road for roadside assistance to come. The roadside assistance will take you to the nearest shop to have your tires repaired or replaced, whichever is the best and safest option.
The difference is in the deductible and out-of-pocket expense. Some providers require motorcycle owners to pay a certain amount for every claim they make, so make sure to double-check this bit of information on your contract before purchasing your tire and wheel coverage plan.
