Very interesting, I hadn't thought about this. The next car I am thinking about is an AWD. In the past I hadn't bothered with road hazard warranties because I considered it unlikely to happen and the cost was that of a single tire, maybe two depending on wear. But if the risk is having to replace all 4 tires, that makes the warranty a better deal.
