However, if you consider cost of insurance vs cost of tire replacement, seems I would have to blow through 3+ tires to make the coverage worthwhile over 3 year lease term. I am considering canceling the insurance as it may just be too expensive even tho I would otherwise like the coverage. Any advice would be welcome.
That sounds very high for the insurance for 3 years based on other posts and my quotes in March of this year. Search around,

You don't say which brand of tires and size you have on your car? unless we assume the same as the OP...
Seems most of the problems are the 19" sport package Goodyear RFT. Very few folks with 18" of any brand seem to be posting issues.
