My question is: what will they be pushing on me and is any of it legitimately worth getting? I know they'll probably have a good pitch for all the options and I just want to be prepared beforehand.

Thanks!
I created a spreadsheet to help analyze whether it makes sense to buy the tire/wheel warranty or not. For me, it did not make sense. Even if I assumed every flat required a tire replacement, I needed to get 8 flats in 5 years for the warranty to make sense. I assumed that my wheels would be fine.

I have a X3 28i, standard 17" wheels/RFTs.

PM me and I'm happy to send you my spreadsheet so you can do your own calculations.
