Pricing goal for BMW wheel & tire warranty

I'm contemplating the BMW wheel/tire warrantyfor a new 5 series/sport/18 inch wheels.

While I'm usually not a fan of tire insurance, the 5 comes with the Goodyear tires that have a reputation for lots of bubbles.

I'm looking only at BMW warranties like this one

There's also the one that includes windshield replacements and PDR.

I realize the dealer markup on these is huge, so I'd like to get a price goal.

TIA

According to several dealers, the wheel/tire policy is $1187 for three years. This does not include cosmetic damage.

Fazit - put that money into a money market account and buy tire insurance with tire from now on. Tirerack's road hazard policy is under10% of the tire cost for three year coverage.

i also understand that Goodyear includes a road hazard warranty and is stepping up to the plate when bubbles appear even if BMW dealers seem unwilling to help.

Nope, the tire warranty is good for the fixed time (3 or 5 years) with no mileage limitation but they won't pay for fixing/replacing bald (under 2/32nds) tires.
